Novarel Instead Of Ovidrel?

My current RE's IVF protocol for me includes Novarel as a trigger instead of Ovidrel, which is what I've been using for my IUIs. 

Why would he switch to Novarel for IVF? 

TTC in 2008. Stage II/III endo, Hashimotos hypothyroid, low morph (3%).
2 cycles Clomid/Ovidrel/TI/Crinone=BFN.
IUI #1 - 4 Follistim/Ovidrel/IUI/Crinone = BFN.
IVF #1 - Antagonist w/ ICSI 4/10. 17 retrieved, 5DT of 2, BFN :(
IVF #2 - Long Lupron w/ ICSI 6/10. 15 retrieved, 3DT of 2, BFFN!!
Lap 7/21/10
IVF #3 - Clomid/Antagonist w/ ICSI 10/10. 14 retreived, 3DT of 3, BFP 10/20 but m/c. No HB 11/15/10 - D&C 11/17/10.
FET - 2 blasts, 1 survived the thaw. Transfer 2/19. Beta #1 3/1 375, Beta #2 3/3 885, Beta #3 3/8 4261, Beta #4 3/11 9005. U/S 3/8 1 sac 1 yolk, U/S 3/16 1 heartbeat 114bpm!

    I also used ovidrel for IUIs and then Nouvarel for IVFs.  I am not sure why the switch... perhaps a stronger trigger for more follies?

    My first RE did Noverel as well for IVF, but not for IUI, but my second clinic just did ovidrel. I never asked why - I just went with it. Each time they got my eggs whether I used Noverel or Ovidrel so I did not see the difference.
    A lot of years and a million tears finally led me to you.
    After 7 years trying to concieve, 3 failed IUIs and 2 failed IVFs, my third IVF was a success!

    I used Novarel for my trigger too. Not sure what the difference between the two are though.

    There are some RE's who believe Ovidrel is not strong enough to help multiple follicles complete the maturation process.  During one of my IUI's in which I used Ovidrel to trigger, I didn't ovulate until 3-4 days later.  Some RE's have no problem with it, but I always asked for Novarel from that point on.  Both RE's in my clinic prefer Novarel for IVF.

    TTC #1 since 6/07, Dx = Ovulatory dysfunction, DOR, and autoimmune issues ~ 4 Clomid cycles, 1 Femara Cycle, 6 Injectible IUI cycles~ 4 Chemical PG's ~ IVF #1 Dec '09 = BFP!!
