Stop Lupron protocol

[Anonymous]

I am on Round #2 of IVF with SGF. My nurse is still working on my schedule and meds (don't get my started on this) but I was wondering if anyone has used this protocol with SG? Any success? And what is a sample timeline?

I am on CD4 today and was told to start BCP tonight.

I didn't realize SG did lupron cycles, they seem to push antagonist. Sorry, not helpful. Is that the same protocol you did first cycle?

OP here- I did antagonist the first cycle. Resulted in a bfn. I had 17 eggs 10 of which were mature.

We did micro dose lupron but I think that is different.

I did stop lupron. You start lupron a week after ovulation and do it until your next cycle, go for baseline and start stims. It is a long protocol. We got 5 eggs. I am a low responder. Had 2 embryos for transfer and bfn.

I'm also a poor responder and did lupron stop (with very high stims) twice with SG and got pregnant both times. Kids are now 6, 6, and 3.

OP here- thanks for the feedback. I am a little confused why I'm on this protocol because I was never told I was a poor responder! I had a good response to the antagonist protocol.

I started birth control last night so I'm curious when I'm supposed to start lupron

I'd ask why. They should be able to tell you why this might be better.

OP, how are are you?

Also, about what doses of stims were you on with your last protocol?

I got my calendar and will begin Lupron (20 units) on 9/3 for a week. I will be on bcp until 9/5 so there is some over lap.

Last time I started on 75 iui Bravelle and 75 iui Menopur and was on that for the first 5 days.
Day 6 of stims I increased Bravelle to 150, and on Day 7 increased Menopur to 150. I stayed on that for a while and the night before triggering I was on 225 of Bravelle (150 of Menopur).

From everything I've read it sounds like pretty low doses of meds.
