TTC after 35

Follistim 450 / Menopur 150

I know my dosage falls on the high side, but how high? Just curious...I have my first monitoring appt tomorrow on my 5th days of stims, and wondering if it could possibly go higher? I'm also on micro dose lupron (10, 2x/day). 

 

 

Re: Follistim 450 / Menopur 150

  • That's my dose too.  I've seen higher doses but they're rare.  Good luck!
  • Your total is 600iu/day which is typically the highest. I've seen some 700-750 but that is rare and not a first cycle.

  • This was my starting doses as well, after my first monitoring appointment they lowered me to 225 Gonal F / 150 Menopur / 20 IU Lupron 2 x day.

    For myself : I was a quicker responder on the MDLF protocol on lower stims as compared to my antagonist cycles...

    Wishing you lots of luck :) Sending prayers for a great appointment!!  I'll be lurking for an update!!!!!

    McIrish...hope you're feeling good...can't wait to hear an update.

    Bakermom...hope your four rock the PGS 

     

  • I had same dose as you, but added HGH.  Glad that your RE is being aggressive and hope that it brings you many follies.  Know that I felt like a pincushion on such high stims.  Hope that you can remember to take it one day at a time.
