Infertility

IVF Meds Question

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.

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.

  • Looks very similar to my antagonist kit :)

  • 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.
