Re: how long do you stim for?
depends on how you respond to the meds. I have stimmed for IUIS from 10-15 days.
My IVF I stimmed for 12 days.

Re: how long do you stim for?
I stimmed for 8 days on my first and 10 days on my second. But, as other posters have said - it all depends on your response. Some people can stim for 15 days.

Re: how long do you stim for?
On my first IVF I stimmed for 9 days and my 2nd I stimmed for 14 days (it was long, but I was on a slow stimming protocol called Estrogen Priming Protocol EPP).
What protocol does Spandorfer have you on?

Exactly, they base it on those items. You must have gone over your protocol with your IVF nurse, right. You are on lupron, what else do they have you starting on CD3? Are you taking Gonal-F, Follistim, Menopur?

Re: how long do you stim for?
Probably the lupron is throwing off your AF. I can't remember back to March if mine was late or not. I was only on lupron for my first IVF Cycle. It will come, don't worry. I know your are anxious to start. Me too.

Re: how long do you stim for?
Everyone's protocol is designed specifically for them so most people will have different answers.
I will be stimming for 5 days (Follistim alone for 2 and then Follistim and Luveris combo for 3). I respond very well ( a little too well) to Follistim so they weren't going to have me stimming for too long.
