IVF question: what day of the week did you start Lupron

BostonGayGal · March 2011

if you were on a luteal Lupron protocol? I got the impression from my reading online that it is often timed such that women start on a Monday and I am curious what your experience has been?

Thank you.

My previous IVF cycles, I didn't take Lupron, but I'm doing it this time around, starting on Sunday 4/3.

I started Saturday for my cancelled IVF #2, and this time I'm starting on Sunday. My clinic only starts stims on Saturdays.

I started lupron on Saturday and stims on Friday. Good luck!

I've started lupron Friday, Sat, and Sunday (always the day I start my 3rd week of BCP).

I think my clinic will start lupron any day of the week, but I think they may only start stims on Mondays.

My clinic times everything with my natural cycle so I will be starting synarel (from the reading I have done it does the same thing as lupron) on CD22, which for me is April 7. I start stims on CD1 of the next period.

Good luck!

On CD 22 for a natural start. And it didn't really matter what day it was since stims start on CD2 of the following cycle. But even if you're text book cycle one or two days can shift ER or ET into the weekend.

I started mine on Saturday 3/19, which was CD21 (my office had me do my CD21 bloodwork on CD20 so they wouldn't have to come in on a Saturday, I'm assuming.)
