Hi,

IVF has different types of protocols .The most common one's are long and short protocol .In short protocol they start the regimen on the first day of your period.
Long protocol of IVF means that they will first be suppressing your eggs before the period day; that is for around 10 day's prior to period they will give you hormones to suppress your ovaries.Then they will stop the hormones which will result in period .And the next set of hormonal medication called agonist protocol will be started.
Which protocol to be used is decided by the fertility doctor depending on the patients factors .The long protocol is the most commonly used one.

Hope this helps.
Regards.
