Starting the Process

[lauren3189]

Hello,

i have been told i can start as soon as i am ready. Just a question, do i just phone the hospital on the first day of my cycle. It was a bit of a blur after going through all the details. x

Hi Lauren

Yes just phone the hospital on the first day of your cycle or if it's a weekend then phone the Monday morning. They should give you a date and time then to go in. Good luck, I wish you all the best. If you have any more questions then everyone on here is so helpful x

Thank you very much

Will it matter if it is over a weekend x

[beauty1984 in reply to lauren3189]

No not at all just phone first thing Monday morning and they'll tell you what to do next

My Cycle started on a Friday evening after the clinic closed so I phoned Monday and all was fine. Xx

ah brill, what was the next step for you. Are you on long or short protocol? x

[beauty1984 in reply to lauren3189]

I was on a short protocol, I needed to take some tablets to start my cycle as they are very irregular. I think it was day 3/4 of my cycle that I had a scan and my first injection. I believe on the long protocol you go in on day 21.

I had ivf last year and I'm due to start again in September after not being successful the first time xx

thank you, if i have to ring on the first day of my period i am not sure when they will ask em to go to the hospital x

[lauren3189 in reply to beauty1984]

aww good luck, will you be on short protocol again xz

[beauty1984 in reply to lauren3189]

You're in good hands, the doctors know what they are doing and will guide you once you know when your first appointment is after your cycle the rest of your appointments will be a bit more planned (as much as they can be depending on how your body responds to the injections) xx

Think you've already had your answer but yeah just phone on the first day or a Monday if it's the weekend. Wishing you lots of luck x
