  I did three different protocols. My first attempt I started with BCP, then started Lupron, then I waited for AF, decreased Lupron, and started Estrace. I would have added PIO right before transfer but my cycle was cancelled b/c my lining sucked. For my second attempt I was just on Estrace. The estrogen also acts as a suppressant. Then I would have added PIO but I was cancelled again. My third attempt was a natural FET where they just monitored my cycle closely and scheduled my transfer so it was timed correctly after I ovulated. I also started PIO the day or two before my transfer. That's the cycle that brought us our twin DDs. Good luck with your cycle!!!

  We have had 3 FET cycles so far, one resulted in my son, one failed, and one is my current pregnancy.
  For me i start bc for 10 days and stop, get a period 48 hours later then start lupron for a couple weeks, then estrace and stop lupron, and start PIO just before my transfer, whole thing start to finish is 5 weeks for me, and 3 ultrasounds and then my transfer... Very simple compared to a fresh IVF...
  Good luck!

  
  Started TTC in 2006, LOTS of trying, and trying, and 7 rounds of IVF with 13 embryos, 2 perfect little boys and 5 loses....
  All finished with babies, started to make diet changes, Keto, to be MORE for my kids, lost 30 pounds, still going, and 3 months in, I had a natural cycle, and then ovulated... Hubs and I are going to see what happens now... Maybe a natural pregnancy? After everything we have been through? Or just a return to normal hormones? We shall see what the future holds!

  Mine was pretty simple too. Started BCP to suppress, did saline sonogram. Once I got my period, I started estradiol, had baseline ultrasound, had a midcycle ulttasound, started PIO, and then did the transfer. I did not have Lupron since I'm DOR and basically suppressing myself already.
  
  Good luck!

  IVF, acupuncture, meditation and a miracle.

  I have had one failed FET and I just started FET #2 on Christmas Eve.  I had to have bw done and a saline sonogram before starting my first FET.  Here is my protocol:

  On day 21 of my cycle, I go for bw and as long as I ovulated, I start Lupron that night.  About 7 to 10 days after starting Lupron, I get my "Lupron period".  I then schedule a baseline and as long as everything looks good, I can decrease the Lupron and start estrogen patches.  At this point, I receive a transfer date. BW every 4 to 5 days.  About 7 days before my transfer, I go in for another u/s to check my lining.  I stop Lupron and start PIO 5 days before my transfer.  From start to finish, it's about a 6 week process.  Much less appointments then a fresh cycle though!

  I'm in the midst of my one and only FET. I started suprefact on cd 21. On the next cd1 I started ASA. Cd 3 I started Estrace and antibiotics. Cd 15 I have an ultrasound and if my lining is 8mm+ I stop suprefact, start prometrium and have the transfer cd 17. They may have done a baseline u/s had I been local but I am travelling cross country for the FET due to a recent move. GL.
