EDIT: hospital has called after I left a message for them over the weekend. They have moved my transfer back by 24 hours and had wrongly worked out my transfer date. I'm so cross they messed up such an important thing
Just want reassurance! I had the ERA in Jan/Feb and was told I needed the standard time between medication and transfer (120 ish hours I think they said). When I had my transfer in May I started my medication on the Sunday for transfer on the Friday (had a BFN). The clinic have just called and asked me to start my medication tomorrow for transfer on Thursday. I queried this and the nurse said the most important bit is that I have my first lubion injection at 7.30am tomorrow, but I'm going to be having 24 hours less progesterone than last time. Am I panicking and overthinking? It's my last blastocyst of this cycle and told myself I'd keep calm as the chance of the last 1 of 5 working is small but I just seem to panic and worry about something at every stage. Thanks for any help you can give me

I don't think you're overreacting at all and I think it's reasonable to want a proper explanation for any of the stages we go through. It's not too much to ask and you're not being difficult, there's a lot at stake and there must be a reason behind the instructions and they should be able to tell you what that is.Don't panic about it, you can start progesterone as instructed and still have plenty of time to get answers before transfer and double check they've calculated and scheduled everything correctly.
I'm on my 4th transfer now. Dr always schedules FETs for Friday afternoons and I start progesterone on Sunday afternoon, so it's five full days before transfer.
Hope you can get answers for your peace of mind and good luck with your transfer xxx
If you had the ERA they should note your file exactly how many hours progesterone you need. My ERA showed I needed 124 hours, they said that 120 would probably be fine but because that was my personalised number they would always do exactly 124 hours now. So my transfer was scheduled for 1pm so I had my first progesterone injection exactly 124 hours before the transfer. I would definitely be querying why they aren’t doing exactly the amount of hours your ERA said to do. You had that test for a reason!
Thanks all. So fed up with the clinic. I ask the questions then seem to get fobbed off and worry later. I've left a message for them to call me back on Monday so will hopefully be able to clarify everything. Really appreciate your quick responses xxx
