when do I start hormones during my cycle?

Post by ivfnyc »

I am traveling to Israel this summer to start IVF. When during my cycle would they start me on Hormone Treatments?

Depends on the protocol. For a medical tourism cycle, they might use a short protocol to reduce your time spent there. With that protocol, the injections start on or about day 1 of your cycle.

They might try a long protocol. It's the most common protocol, but it takes longer. With that protocol, the injections of a GnRH agonist (Leuprolide, Triptorelin, or Buserelin) start about a week earlier, in the luteal phase of your prior cycle.
Avoid IVF and surrogacy in Ukraine. Ukrainian centers pay shills to post here under numerous sock accounts pretending to be patients in Ukraine. Centers using such deceptive advertising cannot be trusted and should be avoided.
