TTC after 35

? re amt of Gonal-F

Hello,?

So I had my 8am drs appt for bw and ultrasound. I have been on Lupron, Menopur, and Gonal F since the 23rd. ? They saw 9 follicles and they all either measured 8 or 9. ?They just called and want me to up my Gonal F from 375 to 450 units for the next two days. (I go back on Wed) ? My last IVF I was only on 225 units of Gonal-F. ?Does 450 units seem high? Or am I just over thinking this? ? (I'm sure the dr knows what he is doing, but I am just sitting here thinking, wow....I will use up a whole Gonal F pen in two nights! Yikes!)

Hope everyone is having a great day!?

Re: ? re amt of Gonal-F

  • It's a higher dose but I think it's fine.  Your E2 level must have indicated to your doc to kick it up a notch.  Hopefully this will do the trick to mature all 8 or 9 follies - it's great that they're about the same size, and the higher dose should help them grow together.  I know how you feel about it being a lot - I'm always like "Oh, here goes $250 into my stomach" as we are OOP.  Good luck and keep us posted.
  • I completely agree with lilac....he just wants to kick your ovaries in the butt a  little.

  • I am sure it's fine, but I am with you in thinking it seems like a lot!  I did 300iu's of Follistim w/Menopur for my IVF.  Good luck!!!
