When did you start stimming??

[BabyD]

So! I'm on day 15 of Buserelin (Long protocol) and have my baseline scan Wednesday - I'm really hoping that all these injections have prepared my body for the next stage of IVF! On what day of down regulating did you start stimming? Xx

Hi BabyD. Oh dear! The eternal question that can't easily be answered! Women vary so much in the way they respond to down regulating, but once you are ready, then usually stimulation is less of a trial. Fingers crossed that all is well for Wednesday's scan and you can continue with the next phase of treatment. Good luck! Diane

Thank you - I was hoping to get some replies from people about what day they were ready for the stimulation injections! Xx

Hi BabyD. Hopefully someone will still reply. Your scan today will give you a better insight as to when you can progress on to the next stage. On average most women take 2-3 weeks to down regulate, but occasionally this can be extended if they are slow to respond. Good luck! Diane
