Zoladex immediately after IVF
Hi ladies, I was wondering if anyone has had their Zoladex injection straight after an IVF cycle? My lymph nodes were clear so I don’t need chemo, but my oncologist wants to put me on Zoladex & Aroma...

Hi @JaneinMelbourne, thanks so much for your response.
My oncologist didn’t refer me to anyone in particular. My GP actually referred me an IVF doctor, but I don’t think they has much experience in treating women with hormone positive cancer.
(Both the oncologist & IVF doctor told me not to bother taking letrozole during my egg stimulation cycle - but after doing more reading I discovered that using letrozole to stabilise oestrogen spikes during egg stimulation is standard for hormone positive oncofertility patients. So I’m a bit worried now!) I might need to find a new Oncologist 😬
Could I ask what type of hormone therapy you are on & for how long? Is it usually Tamoxifen for 2 years and then a pause for children?
