Answer from Dr. Geoffrey Sher

When I prescribe the BCP it is for at least 10 days. Thereupon I overlap with Lupron to promote antral follicle growth through exposure to early Lupron-induced FSH. If you do not overlap with such a GnRH-agonist, the woman's ovaries will often be suppressed.

Feel free to reach out to my assistant (Patti Converse)at concierge@sherivf.com and set up an online discussion with me to discuss and elaborate .
