HI hopeful - this is my frst time logging on and I found your post really helpful as you were asking the questions I wanted to ask. I am in my third month of ovulation induction injecting Puregon day 3 \ 6 and 8 of my cycle. I just found out in nov that I had fertility problems and i came as a huge shock. Like everyone else I thought it woudnt happen to me. I am a bit worried that I am wasting my time on these injections and should be pushing for IVF when its the next step anyway. I am attend Galway Clinic and they are very nice and helpful. Is there anyone else out there that is also using the Puregon Pen and had success or feels like it is worth staying on it for a bit longer? Would appreciate any feedback.
Covie, it is wonderful that you have little snow-babies I hope they are the answer to all your prayers You are so resourceful.
Hopefull, I did not tell my boss either about our IVF cycles, this is the 3 rd one. Every time I took vacation time off at the last moment. They did not ask me why am I taking vac. time at this time of the year, and I did not volunteer any info either. If asked, I would most likely say I need a break. I have taken 2 wks off for every cycle so far. Here in the USA it is expected that you would have to go at least 4-5 mornings for blood work and US. The day of the retrieval you have to rest, and most likely the next day. The day of the transfer the same.
COB I used Follistim with the pen, the same as Puregon, this is an actual fertility drug used for either IVF or insemination or ovulation induction and timed intercourse. If you have to have IVF, you would still have to take the same injections, but most likely higher doses, and there will be other meds in the mix as well. Actually, the 1st cycle I ordered my Follistim(Puregon) from the UK, it was much, much cheaper than here in the USA.
I wish you all good luck and all the best for your cycles and hope that it would be the last one for each one of you in the fight for a baby
