Here we go again!

I start estrace for ivf 2 estrogen priming protocol.

When I heard January after my c/p in November I thought we'd never get here, but looking back I'm glad I had a little mental and physical break.

Anyone doing this protocol? The RN said the estrace shouldn't delay AF, anyone have experience with this?

Thanks!

I am starting stims tonight on an Estrogen Priming Protocol. I started Estrace around day 21 and my period came right on time. Good luck!

I am sorry for your loss. We had to wait two cycles to cycle this month for other reasons and it felt like forever!

Hi Harley,

I'm doing this protocol, started stims last week.  They told me estrace wouldn't effect AF, but it was 5 days late.   No

Good luck!

Hi Harley, 

no advice, but I wanted to say hi. Back in April, when I first got my diagnosis, I was terrified and reached out to the trouble ttc board. Your speedy response and reassuring words meant more to me than I can explain.  

I wish you all the luck in the world and I hope 2013 brings us both our take home babies.

I've read the same thing.  My nurse said you can stim a few days longer than other protocols, but said it can vary person to person.  I hope this protocol does the trick for us :)

 I have had no side effects from the cabegoline and it has done its job. Everything ended up fine after the MRI, just like you told me it would :-). 

my beta is Friday. Ohss has reared it's ugly head. I got the fluid tapped today and am hoping that I continue to feel better and that the ohss means good news.
