When to start stims?

zazu13

I am doing a no BCP, estrogen priming protocol this cycle. My nurse said they would adjust my stim calendar based on my cycle length and when I ovulated. I called to let her know when my CD1 was (2 days later than anticipated) and when my ovulation day was. I expected her to adjust my calendar accordingly, but she didn't and said that I would still start stims on the original day predicted which now will fall on CD25. Does this seem right? I thought stims started on CD 2 or 3 when not using BCP? Anyone have any experience? I don't 100% trust this nurse because she's been wrong about a few things before. I will ask my  RE, but wanted to check if anyone here has experience?

Thanks

EPP is a suppression protocol so if you're properly suppressed, and that suppression is maintained/balanced properly, the actual stim date is semi-flexible Before you start stims you should be monitored to confirm your hormone levels are appropriate. I've gone into detail on LPG EP protocol, the minimum and extended priming situations in the FAQ if that's your approach, but there are lots of methods for EP and YMMV. Good luck!

Thanks, Edwina.

Stupid question: Where are the FAQ?
