Anyone else use suprefact instead of hCG to trigger?

September 2014 edited September 2014 in Infertility

We are set to do retrieval on Friday at 11am, so I have to take my trigger tonight. Today was a whirlwind, so along with monitoring, meeting with the RE, scheduling, and getting all my meds, I didn't have time to fully take it all in. I'm triggering using Suprefact for the first time, due to my risk of OHSS. I'm new to this drug and really didn't get a chance to ask a lot of questions. I just wanted to google some videos on Suprefact injection, but there seems to be very little about suprefact for triggering online - although I did find some literature supporting it's use to prevent OHSS. I searched the crap out of it on this board and also couldn't find many examples of anyone triggering with it. Just a tad paranoid that it's not a common choice? It's also only 1ml... seriously? Should I expect any different side effects than HCG? TIA if anyone has experience with it.

Edit: 1ml seemed small due to the huge vial they gave me of 5ml. I realize now that it's the typical dose.

30 yrs, healthy & TTC since April 2010

*unexplained infertility*

Regularly access alternative medicine to supplement a lack of resources in our geographical area.

Three rounds of clomid (50mg days 3-7) were useless.
IUI#1 w/clomid & HCG in May 2013, BFN.
IUI#2 w/clomid & HCG on July 23rd. BFN.
IUI #3 in August cancelled last minute, due to lab error.
IVF#1 - Started Gonal F stims October 13 2013 for IUI. Over-responded with too many follicles, so converted to IVF. Retrieval October 29th - got 5 eggs, 4 fertilized. Had 2 perfect little embryos transferred on day 3 (Nov. 1). The remaining 2 didn't survive to freeze. Got our BFN on November 13th 2013.
IVF#2 - Started stims August 21st. Triggered with Suprefact, started on dostinex due to risk of OHSS. Retrieval September 5th - got 27 eggs! 21 embryos on day 3. Embryos deteriorated quickly. ESet 5day blast on Sept 10. No embryos high enough quality to freeze. BFN came Sept. 22.

Reserved a semi-known proven donor in August .

Waiting for consult/screening and protocols with estimated fresh cycle timing in October
