Wanted to ask a question if some of you beautiful ladies can give me any info . My RE started me on cetrotide 3 injections for 3 days then estrofem ... i am preparing for ET and day 2 period now .. does anyone have experience why its given before ET ? I know its given during stims to prevent ovulation but before ET ? Does preovulation also affect the ET process or implantation process, any info would be appreciated
