New to the site

Hi Everyone! I am new to this site. My hubby and I have been trying to conceive for over a year. We are currently doing fertility injections of menopur as I am clomid resistant. Lucky me..lol.. I did one round of Menopur last month and I am starting back up tonight. Is there anyone else whp is currently taking this or has taking it and had a good outcome. Last month my follies only grew to 6mm and didnt go further so they stopped that cycle. I also was doing the injections in my thigh, which i have done some reasearch it looks like other people noticed that when injected into the abdomen it is more effective?? Any info will be greatly appericated!

Thanks, buttercup, and best of luck to you too! Hopefully this cycle will bring you more luck with some nice, mature follicles!

...and then a BFP in 3-4 weeks!!!

Hi Heather !  I am doing 3 vials (75 units each vial) to 1 cc of sodium once a day at bedtime. My doc has me doing 3 vials a day for the next 3 days then i go back for US and bloodwork to see if there is any change. Last cycle I did Menopur for 14 (starting at 2 vials then working up to 5) but my follicles only grew 6 mm so they stopped for that cycle. The only thing my doc is concerned about is that i am going to have a big family all at once.. Well i guess we will see what happens. Good Luck and keep me posted!

Hi buttercup, and welcome to the forum! I'm on menopur too! Im cycle day 9 today, and took femara (similar to clomid) on days 3-7 and then a 75 IU shot of menopur on days 3, 5 and 7. This is my first month on menopur, so I won't really know how things look until I go in for my CD12 sonogram on Friday.

I also take the shot in the abdomen. I would alternate between the right and left side of my belly button, and had no problems with the shots.

What days are you taking menopur? And when you say three vials, is that per shot? So 225 IU each time?

Thank you! Everyone is so nice on this site!

Fawn- Good Luck, I will keep you in my prayers. I am doing 3 vials of menopur to 1 cc of sodium. Last cycle I was up to 4 vials. The might go up to 6 on this cycle if no progress..Thanks for the advice and I will definately try my abdomen and hopefully this will work. Keep me updated on your progress...

Hi Hun,

I had an IUI today but had done 6 days of bravelle (same as menopur) and got 2 follicles one was 17mm & 21mm and I did the injections in my abdomen a few inches below my belly button so that might give better results or they might just have to up your dosage to get those little follies to get bigger. I will be praying for good results for you.
