Lupron & Low Dose HCG ???

[usuk]

Hi there. So I am changing from Follistim & Menopur to Follistim Lupron and a low dose HCG. What should I expect?

I think I will repost.

Good luck to you on your journey and lots of baby dust your way :)

Hi ladies,

I was wondering if  you've ever heard of taking Lupron and HCG trigger at the same time?  I guess the Lupron is suppose to help with not ovulating too many eggs.  This is the first time my RE has me do Lupron and trigger together.  Any information would be helpful.

lupron if used in the beging of an ivf cycle can be a stimmulent.  You do high doses the first 3 days of your cycle.

Oh okay, that makes sense.  Thank you for clarifying :)

I believe lupron is to supress your natural hormones.  That way your RE has more control of your cycle.

What is the reason for the Lupron during IVF? --- Just Curious!
I was on Lupron after my laproscopy to make my ovaries stop working and I was in menopause for 6 months.. (I was only 25 at the time).

Hi there,

I am actually going to start Follistim & Lupron together for my 1st IVF next month...I only have experience with Follistim so adding Lupron to the mix will be a 1st for me. Sorry I don't have any information taking them both.

Best of luck and LOTS of babydust your way!!
