Hi there

I'll be starting my second round around the same time (period due the 4th). Are you going on birth control first?

so exciting and frightening! I am going on noristerone from the 3rd. Short protocol using progeravis this time. How about you...

I’m actually not sure how they’ll do it here. Our first round we did in New Zealand and it was quite short - no pill, just straight into stims and was all done in 3 weeks. We got 7 blasts but none of the FETs worked unfortunately miscarriage, two chemicals etc.

we now moved to the States and protocols here seem to be quite different. They said Base ultrasound on day 3, then birth control for 7-10 days, then stims.

Are you excited? Im trying to get excited but sometimes I’m scared that it’s not gonna work

leo1980 profile image
leo1980 in reply toHopeful2021

Mine is short/ mild. So looking at dates. 3 June - stopping pill - period within 7 days then stims..should be 5 weeks in total

I’m still confused how they choose long or short protocol for us? I was long protocol for my first ivf and I’m long again for this one... lol I guess I would prefer short -

Less waiting lol

I opted for short/mild approach. Can share my stuff if you like. I have low AMH. And will turn 40 in August.

Hopeful2021 in reply toleo1980

Ah yes please I also have low AMH but they have opted for long cycle for me - they say it’s because it worked for me last time - but I did only get 2 that made it to blastocyst :/
