Long Lupron Dosage Poll

Faith722

I'm sure everyone is different based on age, diagnosis, past history, etc... but I was curious to see where my protocol falls in the big scheme of things.  They have me on only 5 units of Lupron once a day and when I start stimming I'll be doing 75IU of Menopur and 225IU of Follistim.  Our diagnosis is all MFI and this is our first IVF.

If you're doing or have done a long lupron protocol...

What dosages/frequency did you take Lupron?

Follistim or Gonal-f?

Menopur?

Anything else you want to add?

If you're doing or have done a long lupron protocol...

What dosages/frequency did you take Lupron? I think I did 20 units of lupron but it may have been 10 - started my last week of BCP and continued until trigger (the dosage stayed the same the whole time)

Follistim or Gonal-f? 150 follistim in the mornings

Menopur? used Repronex but did 150  in the evenings

Anything else you want to add? I also took one baby aspirin daily starting when I started BCP.  First IVF I triggered with 2 syringes of Ovidrel and 2nd they switched me to Novarel (don't remember how much).

I did 10 units of Lupron (1x/day) until I started stimming, and then I dropped to 5 units (1x/day). I stayed on it until I triggered.

I was on 225IU Follistim until my first follie check - I think just 3 or 4 days (not my baseline check) and then was upped to 450IU for 7 days.

That was it! I ended up with 15 eggs, 8 were mature. I was 31/32 at the time (yea for birthday's in the middle of IVF cycles!), and my diagnosis is endo.

What dosages/frequency did you take Lupron?  I started Lupron at 10 iu once a day.  After 5 days at that dosage, it was dropped to 5 iu (which was continued until trigger).  I did Lupron in the morning.  I started stims 7 days later.

Follistim or Gonal-f?  I did 300 iu of Follistim or Gonal-F (I used a little of each because I was given some Follistim).  I did one injection in the evening.

Menopur?  I only did Menopur on 2 days (the 5th day and 7th day of stims).  On those days, I did one vial and my Follistim/Gonal-F was dropped to 225 iu.  Menopure was done in the evening.

Anything else you want to add?  I also did HGH, aspirin, dexamethason, extra FA and Vitamin B complex and intralipids.  I stimmed for 7 days, coasted a day and then triggered.  I started Lovenox after ER.  I am a poor responder (DOR) and only had 4 eggs retrieved.  Most of my follicles did not respond to stims.

What dosages/frequency did you take Lupron?  I took 10 units a day until starting stims and dropped down to 5 units per day

Follistim or Gonal-f?  I started Gonal-f at 150 units per day but by the end, I was up to 450 units

Menopur? None.

Anything else you want to add?  I am not the greatest IVF responder and probably was oversuppressed (I don't know if it was the BCP or the Lupron) but I only ended up with 5 eggs on the Long Lupron

Im MFI too.

I was on 10 of lupron, then dropped to 5 w stims.  4 days of 150 follistim w 2 menopur.  Then I dropped WAY down.

112 follistim/1 menopur

75 follistim/1 menopur

NO follistim/ half meopur

back to 75 follistim/1 menopur

I responded well, without much drugs.  Im ready to trigger today, w big follies wo my E2 getting really high.  Prob why I feel so good.  Since i responded so well, I have to be monitored daily (only downside LOL).

I wasn't told I was on "long Lupron" but judging from what I learned here, I am.

What dosages/frequency did you take Lupron?  I did 20 units starting on day 21 of my cycle.  When I got AF, they did a baseline on day 2 and I started stims and continue with 20 units of Lupron every day.

Follistim or Gonal-f?  225 Gonal F morning and night.

Menopur? nope

Anything else you want to add?  They never lowered my Lupron dose, not sure what that means.  I am assuming I will trigger tonight or tomorrow night, so I may be doing the 20 units for the entire cycle.

too_much

I took 10 units of Lupron once a day until I started stimming, and then I dropped to 5 units once a day.  I stayed on it until I triggered.

lyse2143

What dosages/frequency did you take Lupron? 10 units for 10 days and lowered it to 5 units for the remainder

Follistim or Gonal-f? Gonal-f, started with 150 units, will do that once a day at night until check on Friday

Menopur? nope

Anything else you want to add? MFI, with all things checking out normal with me.

If you're doing or have done a long lupron protocol...

What dosages/frequency did you take Lupron? 10 iu prior to stims, drop to 5 iu on first day of stims

Follistim or Gonal-f?  started at 150iu and then by the end was at 0.  I responded really well.

Menopur? 75 units a day and then the last 2 days was half a vial and then 0.  Again, I responded really well.

 Unexplained/possible MFI.

Stimmed for 9 days

Anything else you want to add?

I didn't take Lupron like you are asking. When I had to take it...it was one shot in my butt once a month for 3 months. It was supposed to be 6 months but I am thrilled for only 3 because that was hell.

lmc5004

If you're doing or have done a long lupron protocol...What dosages/frequency did you take Lupron? 10cc for a a week overlapping with BCP, and for another week during AF and baseline u/s, then went down to 5cc when I was stimming and took lupron all the way till triggerFollistim or Gonal-f? FollistimMenopur? No (debated this and didnt end up using it)Anything else you want to add? LONG LUPRON PROTOCOL SUCKS AND TAKES FOREVER!

I have been doing 10 units of Lupron once daily.

I start stimming on Thursday with 225IU of Gonal-F and 75IU of menopur.  I will be decreasing the Lupron to 5 units when I start the stims.

I have PCOS (mild case) and we have MFI.
