Average time spent stimming

[Hope_4_2017x]

Hi everyone, just wondered if you have the time if you could tell me how long you all spent on stimulation meds. Trying to get a rough idea as to whether i am going to have to cancel my holiday that i booked last year! I start down reg 18th may xx

Hi lovely I think I was on mine for 10 or 11 days from what I can remember, but it was about 9 months ago so I could be wrong! Xx

It's generally between 10-14 days x

[Hope_4_2017x in reply to WeeMrsH]

Yes I read the official max time is 2 weeks, wondered if many people went over that.. i think as long as everything doesnt go over the time frame they give as a maximum i should be ok xx

[WeeMrsH in reply to Hope_4_2017x]

When do you go away and when do you start stims? You will have to go for regular scans during stims x

We go away on 8th July.. im not down reg until 18th may.. so depends how long im doing that before they start me on stims xx

Ah so you won't be stimming on hols, that's what I thought your post meant - you'll be grand then 😃 xx

[WeeMrsH in reply to Hope_4_2017x]

[Hope_4_2017x in reply to WeeMrsH]

Hey there, my cycles were anywhere between 8-11 days.

Not sure on your protocol but think you should just about be ok.

Cant think of a better way to spend your 2ww

Hey, both my fresh cycles were 10 days stimming, hope you can get away! About to start stims again tomorrow so we'll see how long it is this time 😳

[Hope_4_2017x in reply to Georgina78]

Thanks for your reply.. seems 10-11 days as average on the ladies that have replied 😊xx

My first cycle was long protocol, 14 days down reg and 14 stim (or maybe it was even 15).

Second cycle short protocol, 9 days

We have had to time this cycle around my husband being away, the clinic seem pretty sure I will need at least 11 days on stims... my hubbie won't be back till day 12 and that's a Tuesday which is a day they don't do egg collection, so I am guessing 13 days this time.

It might help you to know that they can keep you down-regging for longer... I did that last time to facilitate an extra trial egg transfer and I have done it this time too, to make sure that I won't be ready for EC before hubbie is back.

Make sure your clinic are aware of your holiday so they can work round it.
