Sorry girl that I didn't respond in your thread about my IVF drugs. I was slammed at work this weekend. I pulled out my binder and I stimmed for 11 days. Days 1-5, 300 IU of Follistim, Days 6 & 7, dropped down to 225 IU and days 8-10, 150 IU. I took that in the morning and one of my friend donated 3 vials to us (saved us $900). At night, I took one vial of menopur, on days 1-10. All eleven days I took 5 units of Lupron in the evening, plus the 10 days prior to the start of the stims I did 10 units of Lupron. I triggered with Ovidrel and after the transfer started the estrace pills 3x a day and the PIO shots until I was done with the 1st trimester. I hope this helps. It was overwhelming once I saw it all laid out in front of me but I tackled it in sections and then it didn't seem so bad. GL to you and your family. I know how hard it is to have to decide your families future based on odds. I know I was lucky to have success the first time out of the gate. I wish you luck! JM
