Using pill to 'schedule' ?
Hi
I just wondered what is everyone's views on taking the pill so u can schedule the ivf out in Cyprus? Seems to me bit mad to pump in bcp when u r trying to get pg?? Can u just book flights and sort stuff once AF comes???
Advice pls! Did anyone get PG after taking the pill to time the transfer? Love to hear.
Thanks all

Hello,
I have just had a bfp and I started on the pill.
It seemed odd to me too, but it's used a lot to schedule ladies apparently.
I cycled in the us at HRC, we booked flights and accom way before we flew out.
I have since learnt it's good advice to take great travel insurance and book flexible flights.
Crazily ( without realising) I did neither of these things, but with the pill HRC really reassured me they could manipulate my cycle to suit them.
I was sooo lucky things panned out as expected, but cycles sometimes get cancelled, so I think it's much more sensible to have insurance and flex flights

My first cycle when I went to dr Savvas I did without bcp. I was really nervous about the dates and we booked flights after my af showd up so last term. Now I'm on bcp and we have booked our flight and accomodation a few months ago. Dr Savvas says its gonna be alright (I must trust him then). So follow my story and you will see

There is an article at ivfauthority.com which argued that BCP should overlap with GnRH Agonist; otherwise BCP may blunt stimulation. IVF Authority: Taking The Birth Control Pill Prior to IVF: Does it Compromise outcome?

Yes, I have a 5 day overlap. I started 13 march with decapeptyl and stopped the 17th with the BCP. So I think Savvas did the right thing.......
Heya, thanks for this - just wanting to know about Ubiquinol now (also asked on email, sorry!!). I just dropped coq10 to take this instead, is that ok? Up DH’s amount and mine or stick with what...
