Hey ladies, Hope you are all doing well. I stalk this board every day. Hope you don't mind me asking you girls a question. This is my first IVF, so I am just a bundle of nerves. Basically, I started Lupron on cd 21 (no bcp). AF was delayed of course. I called my RE's office on Friday when AF finally showed. The nurse said to come in on cd7 (Thurs.) for baseline sono and keep taking Lupron.For my injectable iuis I always started on cd3 (even when on Lupron). I asked her if she was sure and she said yes, Thursday to come in and they will do b/w and go over instructions, etc. This just seems so late to me to start stims??? Also, by that point, I will have been on Lupron for 3 weeks. I just really hope I don't get oversuppressed. I don't know why I am worrying about this. I have always been a great responder to the meds and my RE told me from day 1 that I was a great IVF candidate because of my follies. Ugghh, I just want to turn my brain off. I am just stressing over everything.One more question, I know this varies for everyone. But, how long were you on stims until er? Thanks ladies.

Okay I have NO advice. I'm currently on day 19 of BCP and I start my lurpon wednesday. I do it for 10 days then add in stims (I stay on Lupron the whole time too). So Im not doing your protocol - sorry. But my last IVF (4 years ago) I stimed for 10 days then had to "coast" for two days (it was a bad cycle). This time we are taking things VERY slow and I was told I will prob stim 10/12 days. Good luck sweetie!

I started stims for my successful IVF on cd 9. As long as your ovaries are quiet, you can start anytime.
I stimmed for 14 days, then did ER. (I stimmed until the day I had my retrieval)
good luck!
