		<title>Comment on during IVF how much time is called a cycle? by realityshowjunkie</title>

		<description>A cycle is considered one IVF attempt from start to finish. The length of the cycle depends on the medication protocol you are put on. Some women start with birth control pills for up to a couple of months, then at Lupron, then FSH to stimulate your ovaries. Egg collection then embryo transfer. Some woman stimulate quickly where others don&#039;t. For me, I am not put on Lupron or BCP&#039;s. My cycle from the first day of my period to embryo transfer is less than three weeks. 

This site shows some sample IVF calenders. Here is the most common, the Lupron protocol. You can click to the right for the other protocols. http://www.advancedfertility.com/sampleivfcalendar.htm

You should know that with one embryo transferred back to you there is a statistically significant reduction in the likelihood of live birth. Ironically enough, transferring more does increase your odds of conception. You are more than twice as likely to give birth when having two embryos transferred than opting for a single embryo transfer. When you have been through the ringer with fertility treatments you will want to do anything possible to increase your odds of success the first time around with IVF. For me, I would transfer 2 and take the risks. How many embryos transferred should depend on a number of factors including if it is a 3 or 5 day transfer (Success is higher with a 5dt by 10% yet sometimes the quality of the embryos is poor and they don&#039;t make it to day 5), the severity of your PCOS, your clinics&#039; success rate, and (very important) your embryo quality. If you have some great looking embryos your odds are better. If you don&#039;t have stellar embryos your odds are lower. Only one transfer can be done for each cycle. 

I was not able to get into the program your clinic offers but wish I could. Your odds of a successful pregnancy increase with your second and if needed third attempt.

Feel free to email me if you have any questions! Much luck!</description>
