Sounds like you'll be on the pill if your egg collection is scheduled for Feb. I had a similar timeline for mine and started with pill programming too
@Charley did it startin your period? Or on day 21?
I can give you my experience- UK clinic, long protocol. Day 21: prostap (injection to block your normal hormonal cycle- essentially a chemical menopause) and Norethisterone for a few days. Then I had a withdrawal bleed and around 15 days later I had a baseline scan and started injections. Egg collection around 12 days later.
So I took the pill for 3 weeks, then stopped and had a withdrawal bleed, and the first day of that counted as day 1 of my cycle and then injections started in that cycle.

Hello, first i want to say good luck on your journey. Im waiting my FET after first cycle egg retrieval which would be in February. So when I started my period, they had me taking birth control and then I started my injections. The injections are not bad at all I would say. So it depends on your clinic's protocol.
