Anyone do a Lupron Flare cycle? I didn't ovulate this month
Hi Everyone,
Im a little nervous this 4th IVF time around. I saw Dr. B on Thursday day 19, he did blood and sono. I got a call late friday to come back in on saturday that my blood work didn't look right. Sooo Dr. B just called and I didn't ovulate this month, I honestly thought I did. I started my lupron on Friday and he said to decrease it to 5 on Monday and call for my protocol and that we would start stims this week. He called it a lupron Flare cycle. Im just wondering if anyone did this type. Im nervous because it seems we are going to move faster then before and with the holidays, my birthday Im just really nervous this time around. It is my 3rd with Dr. B and I love him. He did say it would be cheaper however Im not sure how that can be since we are self-pay and I got all my meds on Thursday night and paid for them. Anyway Im trying to stay positive and hoping for the best.

My second cycle was with the lupron flare with Estrogen Patch protocol. That cycle I stimmed for a really REALLY long time and produced 4 mature follies. Unfortunately, my RE converted it into an IUI because it was not enough follies for retrieval under their clinics rule. My first cycle with antagonist, I producted 5 mature ones.

I started Lupron on day 21, after confirming that I ovulated on day 19. Then I believe I used .20 units of Lurpon for 2 weeks and then started Follisitim and decreased Lupron to .10. I may have taken more Lupron b/c I ovulate on my own and the doc needed to suppress my system from ovulating. Good Luck!!!

Interesting!  I started Lupron on CD25 and I am on .10. I ovulate on my own as well. Will add the rest of the meds (not sure what they are yet) on CD33 (a week after). Have a consult on Friday for the rest of the meds.

Re: Anyone do a Lupron Flare cycle? I didn't ovulate this month
Im going to send an email to my doctor asking him if it's possible I ovulated earlier then day 19 and if he would have been able to tell by the blood work. Sometimes when I used the fertility monitor I would have a month where I would ovulate day 9 or 10 which is really early.

I think the reason many doctors test on day 19 is to see if you ovulated any time prior to that day. I usually ovulate on day 15 w/o meds but by day 19 they could tell I ovulated earlier.

Beachlover - are you doing IVF or IUI? I only used Lupron for IVF, not IUI, so I don't know abut that protocol...sorry.

I believe that they can tell whether or not you ovulated or not regardless of the date by your P4 #...I think in most cases they consider a P4 over 5 as an indication of ovulation.
