Re: How long were you on BCP for your IVF cycle???
I'm not sure, as I'm just beginning this IVF journey myself. However, my nurse told me that normally it would be for about 3 weeks. In my case, I'm taking them longer because we are taking a month off. I was given the option to not go on BCP and then take provera prior to my start date, but I didn't like how I felt on the provera last time I took it. So, I'm on BCP to keep my cycle regular since I don't get AF on my own.

I was on them for 4 weeks becuase of a cyst, but I think the norm is anywhere from 2-6 weeks. You go on them to suppress your ovaries.

I was on BCP for 20 days. I asked the nurse about it and she said that they prescribe them for anywhere from 8 to 28 days.
