How long will it take me to be suppressed?
Usually two weeks. A blood test will be done to confirm suppression.
-
Where should I store my medication?
Always try to store them in the refrigerator. If you are traveling, you can keep it in a small insulator with an ice pack in it. Tablets can be stored at room temperature.
-
Can I get my period while on the suppression drugs?
If you have started suppression in the first half of the cycle then you will not have a period. However, if you have started the suppression on the second half of the cycle, you will experience a menstrual flow.
-
Why am I not getting suppressed?
If estrogen level is still high after a period of suppression this may indicate that there are some ovarian activities or presence of a persistent cyst. Continuation of the suppression drugs for another week or aspiration of the cyst will suppress patients further and thus they will be able to start their treatment as planned.
If you have had a previous IVF cycle where the response to stimulation was poor, then your clinician should try to improve the response the second time around. This may include reducing the suppression dose or remove the suppression altogether.
