Ganirelix the same day as HCG Trigger??

I have been taking Gonal F, Menopur...and then at the end of the cycle for a few days we add in Ganirelix. Then, an HCG Trigger. This time RE is having me do the HCG trigger AND ganirelix. Has anyone heard of this before?

FET Implantation Question

Hi guys...

Can someone tell me when implantation typically takes place after a 5 day blast FET?


I had FET on the 5th...I have been cramping like crazy for days. I am now spotting...I feel like AF is knocking at my door.

In a moment of insanity, I POAS...of course it was BFN

After stopping meds (BFN) did you have any symptons??

I got a BFN in Monday..I have stopped taking PIO shots and estradiol tablets. I have been feeling HORRIBLE. Not just horrible from the BFN. but almost like I am in strange drug withdrawal. I feel almost nonfunctional. Has anyone experienced this?

I have been having cramping on & off since the transfer. I feel like I had more symptoms a few days ago...and now they seem less. The test said early detection on the box.

Did your 1st protocol include lupron?? My 1st cycle was canceled due to only 2 follicles...the lupron way over suppressed me. This cycle I have 13 follicles!!

I am also doing acupuncture, including electro-acupuncture & 1 baby aspirin daily.

I am currently at FCI in Glenview. I will be going in for ER on Saturday it looks like. This is my 2nd cycle. The first cycle was canceled/converted to IUI due to poor response=BFN. I have responded much better on this protocol.

What clinic are you at?
