IUI Trigger

The RE is in the process of getting the IUI Trigger ordered.  At first, we thought we'd go with Ovidrel... but the nurse called earlier asking if I wanted to do the intramuscular shot instead. 

First... What's the usual name of the IM shot?

Second... Which would you do? Subcanteous with Ovidrel?  Or IM with the other?

DH and I are thinking of going with the IM shot.

I just took my Trigger last WEdnesday and it was Ovidrel. I have done 4 procedures and used Ovidrel everytime. It works great for me. Good luck!

I would ask the difference between one or the other. If there's no proven benefit, I'd go with Ovidrel subQ. I like the thinner needle.

I used Ovidrel for my IUI's.  For this IVF cycle, I will be using Pregnol.

The nurse said they are equally as effective... And, after seeing the needle size, I can easily see doing the sub-q myself.. So, we opted for the Ovidrel.

Good choice! Ovidrel is much, much nicer.

I use novarel and it is done IM. It works great, but you get a little tender around the injection site for a couple of days.
