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

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

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

Oh ok i didnt know it could be that long :s fingers crossed its not xx

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 :)

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

Thanks ☺xx

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.
