I don't think BCP would have quite the same effect. Not that I'm any expert. I don't think everyone has to down reg though...
Sorry if that's caused any confusion. How long do you take the BCP for and what happens after that? |

| Hi akcher,
As you can probably see from my ticker I've just had my first IVF cycle and it was successful  I did the long protocol where I was suppressed for 2 weeks, had follicle stimulation for 10 days, egg collection and embryo transfer 2 days later. My clinic make patients wait for 18 days after egg collection before testing so I got my BFP on the 12th July and first scan is booked for the 31st July. It's been very hard with all the drugs/daily injections but it's been worth it and I am so glad as much as I could about IVF to help improve my chances of it working.
Good luck for your 
Elle x |
