FET transfer protocol

I'm just beginning a frozen cycle and wondered what other peoples protocols where and if the timescale sounds accurate. I was given a zoladex injection to switch off hormones, had a withdrawal bleed and have had a baseline scan which was fine. I now start with evorel 100 patches 1 every 48 hours. I will have another scan on day 10 of the patches and the nurse said transfer will likely be 7 days after this scan.

Its so very different for each person. For my last fet I just waited for day one of my period, had bloods and scans from day 10 of my cycle up until I was close to ovulation and then took a trigger shot, waited 2 days and started progesterone and had my transfer 5 days later.

This sounds like the same timeline I am on for my downreguled fet! As @Miraclemuma03 said so many different protocols which you can be on! I have also had natural and modified natural fets which didn't include the down regulation injection so a shorter timeline. Good luck!

I’m doing a fully medicated cycle so mine is totally different! Just oestrogen tablets from day 2 of cycle to around day 12-16 depending on how your lining looks. Then adding in 4-6 days of progesterone and then they do the embryo transfer. Then you keep going with the progesterone & oestrogen and add in (in my case due to a clotting issue) aspirin and clexane. And you keep taking the lot through the first trimester if it works. Good luck!
