I have been doing the lupron in the morning since 3/18 and gonal f at night since Monday. I had bloodwork today and was instructed to decrease my gonal f dosage and begin the menopur.
She called while I was on a conference call for work. She left it all in a message, but I wasn't able to ask questions. I can call back, but thought I would start here.
Do you take the gonal f and menopur back to back?
I am now doing 5 units of Lupron, 112.5 of Gonal f, and 1 vial of Menopur.
TIA
Re: Menopur/Gonal f
I take lupron in am and then gonal F and menopur at same time at night before bed. I'm doing 150 gonal F and 1 vial menopur. I also try to do all the shots of same side of stomach and then alternate the next day.

My clinic gave me specific instructions as to what time of day I needed to take each medication (i.e. AM = Lupron, Gonal-F; PM = Menopur).
when i did long lupron, I did lupron in the morning, menopur at night and gonal F twice a day (my RE likes to divide the dose, so there's always something in your system).
You can ABSOLUTELY take them back to back.
