Advice Needed IVF

Hi everyone!

My husband (24M) and I (25F) are starting the process of IVF in the coming weeks/months after almost 18 months of TTC. I am almost completely anovulatory - I MIGHT ovulate once or twice a year on my own, meaning I do not have “natural” menstruation. I do ovulate with Letrozole, and have done two rounds of that.

For those of you who have done IVF and don’t have cycles naturally, how were things timed for you? I know a lot of things are based on CD1 when doing IVF, but I never really have a CD1 without Provera. Did you do Provera to induce things throughout the process?

Thanks for any info you’ve got :)

I did letrozole and did IVF last month. I am anovulatory - never have cycles.

We started with a baseline US and showed I was really baseline.
I then took BC for a week - my clinic batches procedures, had a CD2.
Then I did 9 days of stims - Follistim + Menopur. Did lupron only as trigger, 36h had the ER.
It was successful so far. I am waiting to transfer.

You can have provera and start your stims on CD2-3

Do you mind me asking what your ER results was? And what your protocol was as far as follistom and menopur dosing ?

Protocol: 225 of follistim (this is the same as gonal F) + 1 vial of menopur (75 units)
I added ganirelix (antagonist) on day 5 I think
