Lupron dosage

[Heather5]

Hi everyone! As some of you know, I'm getting ready to start IVF in about a week and I'm currently taking 20 IU of lupron every night. They're switching me to 10 IU middle of next week and the 5 IU once I start the FSH meds. I'm a little worried about oversupression, but I can't seem to find much information online about what the most common dosage is. So here's my question....for those of you who have done IVF, what lupron dosage were you on? And for how long were you taking it before starting the stims?

Meds were the most expensive part of our ivf so I hear your pain  :(

Can't wait to read your updates!!

Thank you so much, Helen! I just got off the phone with the pharmacy and made the BIG payment, so I should be getting my meds tomorrow morning! I'm starting to get a little excited, but also a bit nervous! I really hope I get to follow in your footsteps!

Thanks again for all your support!

I was taking 10 IUs till I got AF and then 5 IUs with my FSH stims.  This is considered a micro dosage.  I never heard of anyone taking less although I know some ladies took 20IUs and then 10IUs with stims.

Heather, I am so excited you are starting ivf.  As you know, this is how I got my bfp.  I hope ivf works for you!!!!
