Has my Down Regulaton not worked?

5 Replies

Morning everyone, I'm driving myself mad here and I need some advice please.

I had my Prostap DR injection nearly two weeks ago on day 3 of my period and I'm due a scan to make sure my lining is nice and thin on Friday so I can start my Oestrogen tablets before my FET mid-September.

Last night before I went to bed I had a big blob of ewcm exactly like I get around about ovulation and yesterday would have been day 14 in my cycle if I hadn't taken any drugs.

Does this mean my injection hasn't worked? I don't want to phone the hospital over a silly question and figured as I'm booked in for a scan on Friday morning I may as well just wait but I'm honestly driving myself mad just now.

This morning I swear I have every ovulation, PMS and menopausal symptom going. Any advice or stories you could give would be appreciated. xx

No advice but if it’s really bugging you then I think you should make the call. They must be used to “silly” questions. That’s what they’re there for xx

Thanks for replying, I think I'm going to hold off until my Friday scan as there wont be much they can do but I'm feeling quite uncomfortable and crampy which just makes me think I really haven't down regulated. I'm definitely finding the fet a lot more emotionally stressful than our fresh, I'm probably just on edge after everything.

Hope you're good today xxx

I’m ok.

It’s probably because you’re doing a medicated fet. I did one of those and never again lol! My next two were natural fets. I personally don’t think a medicated fet is all that nice on the body so take it easy xx
