cycle day question - Infertility Message Board

tmerone · 04-07-2003, 04:37 AM

I am a little confused about cycle days. I am starting IVF and am currently on Lupron. I know that this med is supposed to supress your ovaries. I started AF this past Fri. I am starting follistim this Fri. which is supposed to stimulate follicle growth. Do I count my AF as cycle day 1 or the day I start follistim? All this medical crap, measuring meds and counting days is so tiresome! Just hoping the outcome is worth it. Off to work now before the snow hits...6-8"!

Day one is your first day of actual flow (at least that is what my RE says and mostly what I read). If you spot, then the next day should be day one

Hope that helps! 6-8"????? Wow! I am originally from Ohio...that is the reason I live in Texas now! Can't deal with the snow.

Cycle day one is the 1st day of Full flow. My RE says that if the full flows come in after 8:00 p.m. then consider the following day CD1!

Good luck!

Hi Mare! And TMER! I'm up here in NH - so I've been dodging snow too!

Good luck on your IVF, TMER! It is a pain keeping up with cycle days huh? But the outcome will be worth it! Mare! WOW - I cannot believe how long you've been trying. Kudos to you for still hangin in there.

WOW. Take care ladies!
