[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]IVF is a lot of meds. Medicated IUI uses a small fraction of that amount.[/quote]

This is not necessarily true.[/quote]

Yes, it is true. You may have used similar combo of meds, but trust me, the dosages are vastly higher in IVF.  To the tune of 3 900 unit vials of Follistim/Gonal AND 15+ vials of Menopur AND 5 syringes of Cetrotide/Ganilerix all this before the trigger injection.
I am not even talking about lupron and additional meds for those doing an immune protocol (antibiotics, steroid and blood thinner shots).

FYI everybody uses progesterone after transfer in IVF/FET, either as inserts or injections + estrogen pills. [/quote]

I'm quite aware of what my dosages were, since I injectedly them nightly. Also aware that the progesterone is typical after Ivf, just answering a pp. I was on inserts for both iui/ivf. My meds were nearly identical, doses included, which were much higher than those listed above. [/quote]
