  on the Long Lupron protocol, my CD1 was August 7th and my ER was September 15th.    So it was a little over a month.    and that includes my time on BCP.    I started stims in September 4th.
  

  good luck!

  Long Lupron: As long as 8 weeks with BCP

  Antagonist: As short as 3 weeks if you don't do BCP but can be about 5 weeks.

  As you say, it will vary a lot based on which protocol your doctor uses.

  I did a long Lupron protocol. The first day of my period was Jan 17, and egg retrieval was on Feb 24. In between those days I took birth control, Lupron, and finally, 9 days of stims.

  Hope that helps! Good luck!

  After 7 failed IUIs, IVF w/ ICSI worked!!

  I am thankful every day for my miracle after infertility.

  And thrilled to be pregnant again after FET!

  On antagonist for me, I started BCPs on Sept 8, and stims on Oct 5. We had the ER today, I stimmed for 12 days, so one I started injectibles it was around 2 weeks.

  At my clinic it's about 6 weeks from starting BCP to the ER.

  For me it has ranged anywhere from 12 days to 18 from CD1 to ER.  My first IVF I stimmed much fewer days than my 2nd.  Note: My RE does not use BCP and I start Lupron the day I start stims.
