Just rang the clinic this morning, and I begin stims this evening using ovaleap, and then beginning Ganirelix on monday. My first scan is scheduled for next weds which is day 8. I know it can vary but when do you think I can expect egg retrieval, sometime w/c 1st march?

I was exactly 4 weeks from taking my first tablet to egg collection xx

I had my stims extended by a few days - started them on CD2 and did 14 days of injections, trigger on CD15, EC on CD17 x

Also interested to know. I’m cycle day 8 today. Started stims cycle day 2 and been told egg collection likely going to happen Monday.

Around 10-12 days of injections is typical for short protocol but can vary according to your monitoring.

Thanks guys, probably early march then, hopefully I'll find out more on weds x

I was on stims for 9 days and had the egg collection on day 10 so it might be sooner than you think, I was expecting more.

Greatful though as had been down regging for weeks beforehand and doing multiple injections a day at that point!

Last cycle im pretty sure I started stims on day 4 of my period and I did 12 days of injections , I did scans on day 8, day 10 and day 12 and then triggered that night and had egg retrieval on day 14.
