FET protocol

Dunbar92906

I cant seem to remember what the protocol is for a frozen transfer...i got my period friday and went for my blood/sono this morning.  Instead of waiting for them to tell me this afternoon I figured I would come ask my nestie girls.  Is it straight to progestorone?  And how long till the transfer?

It varies by doctor, but I had an estring (vaginal ring), did estrogen shots for a couple weeks, then added the progesterone shots a little before the transfer.  Took the baby aspirin, antibiotic, and steroid just like for fresh cycle.  Continued the shots and kept the ring until pregnancy test.

I just started my FET last week and am on estrace right now.  I am little bit different (don't ovulate and thin lining, so I started all of this on CD 38) 

But if I would have gotten AF then it would have been estrace from CD 1-CD14, go in for b/w and u/s and if all is good continue with estrace but add progesterone and then doxcycline before transfer and transfer on CD 21.

 I have heard so many different protocols from others on the board though, so it totally depends on your RE

good luck!!!

We are doing BCP's overlapping with Lupron, then estrogen, the progesterone.  It seems like it's about 3 weeks from the time I started estrogen to FET, with progesterone starting however many days old your embryos were when frozen (for example, in my case that is 6 days).  Estrogen and progesterone continue at least through beta. GL to you!

I started estrace on CD2 and then added in PIO 5 days before transfer.

This sounds like mine too...about 5-6 weeks total.

After the transfer, continue on Estrace 6 pills per day, and PIO every night for two weeks util the Beta test.
