IVF clinic… left in the dark about medications

We are beginning our IVF journey next month and our medication was delivered earlier this week… Our clinic hasn’t actually told us yet what and when we are expecting to take the medication. We have left a voicemail today but in the meantime, could anyone try and explain which order we would likely take these medications?

Bemfola
Utrogestan (progesterone capsules)
Northisterone
Estradiol
Gonsai
Ganirelix
Buserelin acetate injection
Cyclogest (another progesterone?)

Obviously will take advice from my clinic but hopefully someone can make sense of it for me in the meantime?

@Ivfleftinthedark wait until they tell you as everyone is different. Your progesterones are normally after egg collection. Your first will be the pill noresterone which they will tell you to take for around 10days towards the end of your cycle to control your cycle. They will tell you when to stop it and then you'll wait for your day 1 bleed. The rest of the medication is different to what I had but I wouldn't worry too much just now because they will tell you as its very specific

As per pp, wait for your consult with the clinic as everyone is different. Some meds have been tricky to get hold of recently so it's good you've got them early. Assume you have another appt booked? For me they went through everything when I had my baseline scan.

Agree with the ladies suggestion you wait for the clinic to go through everything with you.

Estradiol - oestrogen patches
Norethisterone - tablets to delay your period so they can perfectly time everything
Buserelin - to down regulate you
Cyclogest pessaries - for transfer time
Utra- different pessary also progesterone. You can switch between the two so perhaps they struggled to get the whole batch in one brand.

Agree though that it's amazing you've already got everything. I was given literature on every drug. I'm sure you will get the same and if not you can google.
