  I was put on BCPs for both IVF cycles. Both times I took the entire 28 day pack, so 4 weeks worth.

  MrsT52309:

  Did your RE put you on BCP or not?

  For IVF #1 I wasn't on BCP, but my RE is considering it for 2.2.  Just curious if it was part of your protocol.

  TIA!

  I did not use BCP because my RE thought it might overly suppress me.  I used it for my first cancelled cycle and did not for the other 2 IVFs. 

  TTC since 3/07. IVF#1 = canceled. IVF#2 = 0% fertilization. IVF#3 = BFN. IVF#4 = c/p.  
  Moving forward with Adoption 2017!

  No, not used except for DE cycles and exceptions, but none that I've had.

  I'm just learning about Antagonist protocol. Seems like it is most often used with poor responders. It would then make sense NOT to use BCP's because of the risk oversupression. I have not received my calendar yet but I'm assuming that I won't use them. For those of you who replied yes to using bcp's, would you mind sharing your RE's reasoning/logic for doing so with Antagonist?

  Natural BFP on 3/08
  C/P- at 6 weeks
  5 IUI's= BFN
  Dx: Endo stage 1 : evevated FSH (11.3)
  IVF#1: 3dt 2 8 cell, grade 1 embyos :bfn

  This is interesting. I'm on the antagonist protocol and was on BCP for 20 days.  However, I'm a very good responder.

  I was on the "high responder antagonist" protocol and I took the pill before my cycle.

  Sept. 2010: IVF #1= BFP; May 2012: FET #1= blighted ovum, D&C; FET #2= ??
