XP: Question for DE ladies about BCP

How long were you on BCP before your DE cycle?  I called the clinic where I am doing my DE cycle this afternoon (in CA, not my regular clinic) to ask about when I am supposed to start BCPs for my end of January cycle...The answer... Today!!!   Ummmm, no one told me this!!!!!  So now I am scrambling to get the script called in.  Is it normal to start on CD3 and so far ahead of time?  Sorry if I sound completely stupid but I have never been on BCP for IVF and the last minuteness of this is making my neurotic brain question everything!

Re: XP: Question for DE ladies about BCP

  • Where in CA are you cycling? For my cycle, I just remained  on BCP after my mock cycle. That was probably 2 months prior. They were able to interrupt whenever they needed to at that point.  Do you not do well on the pill? I actually feel better on the pill, so I didn't mind. If you want to hold off until Dec, ask them if you can so that.

  • I am at HR.C.  I have never had any issues with the pill, it was just that the BCP start date wasn?t on my calendar and it just really caught me of guard when I was told ?start tonight?.  I guess my panic has more to do with not being kept in the loop than anything else... If I hadn?t called I wouldn?t have known.  Ugh, if I?m like this without hormones, God help me once I?m pumped on Lupron and estrogen!


    Can?t wait until your little ones arrive! ...So exciting!!!
