How much Lupron do you take?

I heard a lady on youtube saying that doctors prescibe you either 10 or 20 units of Lupron based on your BMI. I don't think that's true, but I was wondering how much you all take and if you think it's based on weight. I'm taking 20 units and my BMI is 21, well within normal range. Is this lady nuts and I'm feeling bad for nothing?

I am on 10 units too. I don't know on what basis they assign. In my first IVF cycle I started with 10 units and they reduced to 5 units when I started the Gonal-F.  I think I will be starting Gonal-F next week as I got the bleed today. I will keep you posted.

I did the same too. I was taking 10 units and Follistem, then I went down to 5 units.
This month I'll be doing something different. I start on 10/17 so I can let you know.
