A Menopur Success Story!

I LOVE MENOPUR!! We got our BFP on the first round of Menopur and timed intercourse alone (didn't even use IUI). However, it took forever to get my follies to grow because I was on the lowest possible dose (75 iu) for 10 days before they would increase it. I ended up stimming with Menopur for over 20 days, but it doesn't matter how long it takes, just that you get a good egg out of it. They kept me on this extremely slow protocol because they didn't want me to over-stimulate since my ovaries are covered with lots and lots of follies.

I believe that Menopur works well for a lot of people because it has both FSH and LH, whereas the other stims only have FSH. My estrogen levels were really low when using Gonal-F, so my RE recommended Menopur because the LH tends to help with that problem. Don't hesitate to ask if you have other questions about Menopur. You can read my signature below for more info about my history. Best of luck!!
