Orgalutran = what in the USA?

I am going to be taking Orgalutran during my next cycle.  I am just curious what it is call state side.  So I can follow along with anyone else that might have taken it. 

"Ganirelix belongs to the class of medications known as gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) antagonists. It is used to prevent premature ovulation in women undergoing ovarian stimulation as part of fertility treatment. It blocks the effects of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH). GnRH controls the secretion of another hormone, called luteinizing hormone (LH), a hormone that starts ovulation (release of an egg) during the menstrual cycle. Ganirelix allows the release of an egg to be controlled so it is released at the best time for pregnancy to occur."

After reading your post carefully and fighting with Google for a few minutes, I believe Ganirelix is called Lupron here. You might call a US pharmacy and ask just to be sure.

I have used Ganirelix for my IVF cycle. That's what it was called & I know they let me use Cetrotide interchangeably.
