![]() The majority of the embryos tolerate freezing and thawing well, but some may not. The embryos are thawed according to your consent. The start of progesterone equals luteal day 0. This is to help make the endometrium receptive to the embryo(s). When you are ready for your frozen embryo transfer, will start stop taking Buserelin and will begin to use progesterone (while continuing the oestradiol). ![]() If the endometrium does not thicken your cycle may be cancelled. If the endometrium is too thin, you will continue taking oestradiol and return after 7 days for a scan. If you have ovulated, your cycle will be cancelled because of reduced chances of success. If a dominant follicle larger than 14 mm is visible, you will have a blood test to see whether you have ovulated. If the endometrium is more than 8 mm and no follicle is visible you are ready for your embryo transfer. We will measure the endometrial thickness and the size of any growing follicle. Continue to take Buserelin as well.Īfter 11-13 days, you will have an ultrasound scan. After you have your scan you will start to take hormone tablets (oestradiol) to build up your endometrium. If everything looks fine, you will be able to start your cycle. The scan will assess the endometrium lining of your uterus and see how active your ovaries are. This is a GnRH agonist that will stop your own production of FSH and LH, reducing the risk of spontaneous ovulation.Īfter two weeks of Buserelin you will attend the clinic for a down-regulation scan. On day 21 of your cycle you will begin taking Buserelin as subcutaneous injections, once per day. On day 1 of your cycle, phone the clinic. Our staff will help you complete your consent form. The number of embryos to thaw and transfer will depend on your age, your medical history, the number of frozen embryos and whether they will be further cultured before transfer. If you are having treatment with a partner, he/she needs to consent as well. What will happen in my treatment cycle?īefore your cycle begins you will need to consent to the number of embryos to thaw and transfer. It involves taking oestradiol tablets to build up the lining of the uterus, followed by vaginal progesterone gel to make sure the lining is receptive to the embryo(s). This treatment is suitable for women with or without regular cycles and for patients with endometriosis.
