Hi ladies,
I was wondering if anyone else who is doing or went through IVF had these medications in their kits: I'm seeing Lupron a lot of here, but I wasn't given that....
Here's what was in my kit:
Follistim 300 AQ 437.5 unit CTG - (6 boxes) Refrigerated
Progesterone 200MG Sup. Cutis - (31 count) Refrigerated
Tetracycline 250MG Capsule - (16 count)
Ganirelix Acct 250MCG/0.5ML SYR #5 - (6 boxes)
Chorionic Gonadotropin 10,000 U (w/dil) powder - (2 boxes)
Follistim Pen w/8 BD Micro-Fine 0,33 x 12,7 mm
Bandages, alcohol pads, needles (2 or 3 kinds), & a container to throw the needles into.
Me: 28, DH: 28
Married for 2 1/2 years
TTC for 2+ years...after numerous tests, we were told IVF w/ICSI would be the only way to go for us
May 10, 2011 - BFP!!!! Took a HPT @ 6dp5dt & it was positive! May 12, 2011 Beta= 74!!! May 14, 2011 Beta = 201!!! May 16, 2011 Beta = 404!!! May 18, 2011 Beta = 786!!! May 20, 2011 Beta = 1,964!!! May 23, 2011 Beta = 4,685!!!! June 1, 2011: We're having TWINS!
Re: IVF Meds Question
Antagonist protocol. Lupron is an agonist, and most often used for MDLF or LL protocols.
Ganirelix (or Cetrotide) is the antagonist and prevents you from ovulating while you hyperstim.
Friends for 15 years. Married 8. TTC since January 2009

IVF w/ICSI #1 Antagonist: 2 blasts - c/p - BFN 04.22
FET #1: 1 blast/1 early blast - BFP 06.22 - m/c 06.30 @6w0d
07-11 RPL: MTHFR C677T Heterozygous & Slightly elevated ACLA IgM
FET #2: 1 morula - BFN: 9.02
January '12: IVF #2
Started BCP and Metformin (New!) 12-14 for stimming in January
Dum spiro, spero.
?SAIF/PAIF/PgAL/PAL always welcome?
Definitely antagonist. I used that protocol for my first IVF. It is my REs go to protocol for the more straightforward (for lack of better wording) IF cases.
Good luck.
