Down regging?

[MrsDarcy4092]

May be a silly question but if the clinic say they will start on day 1 of your natural cycle and 2 weeks later so ec does that mean you don't do any down regging?

Sounds like a short protocol without down regging yes. EC will be around day 14 depending on how the follicles are looking. You'll probably have a scan every other day to start with then daily. Good luck

Thanks. And if down regging does that generally start on day one of cycle? How long does down regging normally take?

If down regging it usually starts on day 21, with down regging drugs for 2-3 weeks until fully down regged (either scan to show quiet ovaries and thin lining or blood test to show low oestrodiol) before starting stims. This is the LONG protocol.

When I've down regged, I started the contraceptive pill day 1 of my cycle, took this for 3 weeks and then started the downreg injections after this. Cycle 1 (and i think my last one) I had to use the downreg injections for 2 weeks, but on the other cycles I used them for a week before starting stims.

The above is also long protocol.
