What is your protocol from LI IVF?

I met with the nurse today. I will be doing BCPs for about 3 weeks then 4 vials per day of menopur for 6 days and then will add Generolix for 4 days and then trigger and retrival about 30 hours later. I don't have an issue ovulating but I am concerned that I will not be using any gonal-f or follistim. Has anyone else had a similar protocol with any success? We are using our savings for this an I really want to make sure we get the best possible chance at briniging home a baby as it is our only shot!

Re: What is your protocol from LI IVF?

I had the exact same protocol from LI IVF. They did end up upping my menopur to 6 vials a day once I started stimming.

I was very nervous too. I used follistim with my first cycle at a different clinic and I got pg with my son.

I don't know what the difference between follistim and menopur is but, just to let you know, I ended up with the EXACT same number of eggs retrieved each time!!!! And, the same results - pg!

I know it's nerve wracking but I just kept telling myself that they want me to succeed just as much as I want to. They know what they are doing so you just have to trust them.

Good luck!

I think my first cycle was 3 vials of Gonal-F with one vial of Menopur.

Second cycle was 3 vials of Gona-F in the AM and 3 vials of Menopur in the PM.

Re: What is your protocol from LI IVF?

I used 3 vials of menopur for 10 days and adding ganirelex for the last 4 days. they retrieved 19 follicles and I am currently pregnant.

ETA
I also didn't have an issue with ovulation. We had undiagnosed infertility.
