FET - What day does your clinic start lining meds?

Post by birdy »

Hi
I've had two cancelled FETs due to my lining not being adequate - one in November and one in January.
I'm about to kick off this month and am wondering what CD you ladies start your meds? My clinic starts on CD4. AF has just arrived a week early :roll: and I'm tempted to start my meds today...
Any thoughts? Can see how it would hurt really....anything to give my lining a headstart! I'll be doing acupuncture this cycle as well as drinking Raspberry leaf tea.

Did you clear the raspberry tea with your doctor?

I'm not sure it does anything at all, but the websites advertising it vaguely imply it provides progesterone. Progesterone timing can be critical in any cycle.

thanks Ghost, I will speak with my clinic about the Raspberry Leaf Tea.
I was actually wondering about what CD everyone starts their estrogen for a FET?
Also, I know I'm getting ahead of myself but how is EDD calculated for a FET pg? Still 40 weeks from CD1??? I know that sounds like a silly question but I won't ovulate so a bit confused!
