Lead-up for IVF

Briefly (as I've already explained this elsewhere and don't want to be a pain!), I'm currently living in Syria and am planning on IVF in Lebanon because despite the political unrest, it is the closest country that has medical standards in which I have any confidence.  That said, I have little opportunity for second opinions or for talking with others who are going through IVF so I thought I'd try this...  If you don't mind, I'd like to explain my situation and what my doctor is prescribing... Can anyone tell me if they are doing anything similar or give any opinion on the process compared to what they are going through? (excuse me if I don't know the proper/technical terminology!)
I'm 35 and apparently hormone levels, ovaries etc... are all normal (but my husband had a vasectomy over 20 years ago and the reversal failed). My doctor has told me to go on the pill (Fenovan) for a month and to have a Decapeptyl (or Triptorelin) injection on the 18th day of taking the pill.  All of this is apprently to force my ovaries to "take a break" in the hopes of producing a larger number of eggs when the ovaries are stimulated by having an injection of Menogon (apparently the same as Pergonal) each day for 10 days starting on the 3rd day of my period.
On the 6th day of the menogon I start doing ultrasounds for the Dr. to decide when to go ahead and harvest the eggs.
Any opinions / comments, very welcome.
Thanks so much

You know, although the medications have different names, the basic procedure sounds very similar to ivf protocol. I think all sounds okay so far.

I would suggest that you visit ivfconnections.com for more info. This site requires you to register, but the registration is free. I found a wealth of information on everything related to ivf on the site (including selective reduction, protocols, having procedures in other countries, etc).

Good luck.
