How long between IVF's?

[mmc]

What is the average time between ICSI procedures?? Do you have to wait in between or do you just do it month after month? Thanks!

Hi mmc: this depends a lot on the clinic. There are clinics that want you to have an AF or two btwn cycles, and those that let you go straight in again. My RE encouraged me to dive right back in again after 1st BFN, and i was anxious to do so. I ended up doing 3 fresh cycles back to back (at most 2 wks in between), and am now on my 1st FET. My RE said physiologically there is no problem going back to back (he says as long as i feel good physically and emotionally, i am good to go). Being type A, it was helpful for me to start right up again... made me feel like i was "doing something". I am glad that i did it this way.... but do have to say... emotionally, it all caught up to me during my month off before FET, and it was pretty rough for a couple wks. Hope that helps!

I never had anything to freeze so was always doing fresh and my RE always had me wait one full cycle, then a cycle on bcps, before starting to down-reg & stim. After my m/c, I had to wait two full cycles then a cycle on BCPs prior to starting again.....

I have now had 2 cycles Of I.V.F. Both failing from, the first to the 2nd i had to wait to have 3 normal P's. and Now i have to wait for 6 P's for my 3rd cycle.
Then again it does depend on where you're going to have it done.
