Lupron taken with stims (Gonal f & Menopor)?

PrettyAccountant

Has anyone been on a protocol in which you started Lupron with your regular stims? (Gonal F, Menopor). I was on BCP for 3 weeks and then they started me on Lupon together with Gonal F, Menpor. I am curious if this protocol starts you off slower than the Antagonist Protocol. I have been on Lupron, Gonal F & Menopor for 4 days with very little activity with my follicles.

Thanks

It sounds simliar to my microdose lupron flare. I started lupron the day before I started stims but continued it twice a day while on follistim and menopur. I stimmed for 13 days. It was very slow for me.

With the typical "long lupron" protocol, you do BCP, then overlap BCP a few days with lupron, and then when you start stimming, you continue lupron, but the dose is half of what is was pre-stim. Yours sound similar, except of the pre stim lupron phase is not there.

It is still early for you follicles at 4 days. I had very little going on with mine even after 5 days of stims. I did get a dosage increase after than which did help.

What does Lupron do? I did the BC now I'm on Gonal F and Menopur, no Lupron. I see a lot of girls on here mention it but it's not on my regimen.

I did the long lupron and took BCP for 3 weeks and started the lupron during the last week of BCP.  I did not start Gonal f & Menopur until 10 days after lupron.  It was not until the 5 or 6 day of the gonal f & menopur that anything measurable happened with my follices.  GL

I am not quite there yet, but in a couple of weeks I drop my lupron down to 5 units in the morning, and then stims in the afternoon.  RE said it was to help make sure I didn't O before they wanted me to, and I wonder if maybe it's to help reduce the chance of OHSS (wild guess on my part)
