Can someone tell me, do all clinics have set cycle dates for IVF/PGD? If so, how is a cycle shifted to meet clinic dates? Or do clinics work with our body's own natural menstrual cycle?

I would like to cycle in May, and again in June or July if May does not result in BFP.

I am most interested in DR Potters location and cycle information.

I am a healthy 34 year old woman with 5 girls (including one set of twins). Hoping to make my boy dream a reality in 2012!


Thank you for your time.

Hi 5littlegirls, pink is pretty much on the money. The cycle dates can be manipulated using BCPs or lupron. If you were to cycle with me, we would find a mutually convenient date. Using a natural cycle with not birth control pills is not a good idea for most patients that are considering IVF/PGD as you will get fewer eggs and embryos. The only limitation on dates is that I do all of the procedures myself and so have to be in town. Make sure to allow ample time for pre-testing. Don't wait until the last minute.

Can i ask how much in advance you can get pretesting done? I would be coming from the uk so wouldn't want to be leaving it all too last minute...think it would add too much stress!

I would suggest that it be 6 months or so if possible. Particularly for the uterine cavity evaluation. If polyps or fibroids are found, you may need surgery to correct it.
