Advice about down reg

[Sunshineraye]

Hey ladies, so since my last scan I’ve not bled enough to warrant a thinner lining I don’t think so assuming this cycle will be cancelled at the next scan on wed.

For my next go I’m thinking of not down regging.

My periods usually range between 25-30 days and I’m known to get smiley faces without actually ovulating on blood tests.

I do have endometriosis which cause pain and heavy periods but nothing else.

I know I will need some medicated assistance though and thinking of just starting with progynova and the Passeries.

My question is, how many of you did this happen too and you had success? I feel down reg is so much stress on my body xx

Hi, this was exactly me! My clinic only do long medicated FET cycles or reluctantly do natural cycles. I didn’t want to do either and told them I knew a short medicated cycle was an option and to my amazement they agreed..I think largely because I had discussed with the nurse manager and she agreed to manage my cycle. It was great. Cycle day 1-5 I took 1 progynova tablet per day, 2 per day on d6-9 then 3 per day and I had transfer d16. They scanned me regularly and checked bloods for LH and would have given cetrotide if I was close to ovulation and it wasn’t needed. I felt so much more like myself and I got a BFP. Good luck! X

I so sure this would be better for me too. Even if it does go ahead I don’t feel positive it’s gonna work because of this horrid menopause feeling. Thank you for replying. Congrats on ur BFP xx

I presume this is for an FET? I chose to stop down regulating as it made me feel terrible and the clinic agreed it wasnt necessary. If I need to plan my cycle then my clinic use the contraceptive pill although if that isn't necessary and I can just start progynova on day 2 and have check scans for lining etc. This is way easier on the body and in theory the progynova should stop ovulation so you shouldnt have to worry about that either.xx

Thank you so much Cinderella5. I keep thinking it doesn’t feel necessary. I wonder why they get people to do. But it really making me feel crap too. It’s not over it’s yet and I’m already thinking ahead of what I feel will be better for my body, hopefully this is a sign.

I hope your are doing ok xx

Its really just so they have complete control of your body and can plan dates for you but my body usually does it's own thing anyway. It is honestly so much better without, good luck! I'm doing good ta, I've got to wait until I can go again which is annoying but just one of those things.xx

I really trust ur advice, your an inspiration to this group ❤️ So sorry to hear to have to go again it is so annoying. I really don’t think I can go again with down regging. Xx

I failed to down reg & my cycle was cancelled earlier in the year, so they missed out down reg this time & that worked for me❤️ Wishing you every success with your next steps xxx

Hi this is my 2nd FET my clinic decided to do medicated as natural FET didn’t work last month. As much as I wanted to avoid Buserelin i didn’t have a choice they need to be in control of my cycle this time. After 7days on buserelin I bled and had my scan yesterday. Just started my progynova yesterday 3x a day. I know it’s quite a high dose but needed it as I’m feeling crappy (headache,insomnia,irritatable etc name it )with buserelin. Hope your scan goes well. Ill be thinking of you. All the best xxxx
