Cathy - .

Isabel - I will keep daydreaming !

LittleLadySky - 17 mm seems really thick but glad to hear that follicles are developing.

Julia - sorry about the E2 levels. I don't know quite how that works.

Okay ladies - need another questioned answered. Does anyone know what Repronex does? Is it another FSH? I am concerned that my dosage my RE gave me for the Follistim is low however, he is making me take 1 vial of Repronex (1 ml ?). Thanks.

How this info brings some light!!
Menotropins (Repronex) are an equal mixture of the naturally occurring follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH). FSH and LH are important for the development of follicles (eggs) produced by the ovaries
Menotropins are also used to stimulate the development of multiple eggs for in vitro fertilization.

Prayingforbabies-- Since I know we started Lupron together (or a day apart), have you gotten AF? I'm on day 9 of lupron, and i'm supposed to go in tomorrow for US/BW, but I have not gotten AF yet!! argh! I *think* I need to have AF before the Us/bw, because obviously, the results will be different (lining will be thinner and hormone levels will be lower after she arrives). What's your update?

I know I"m not prayingfor babes, but I have actually heard or read somewhere (probably here) that you may not get AF while on LUPRON if your lining was already previously thinned out from being on BCP etc. I don't think it's a deal breaker. If you have no lining to shed, you won't get AF. I'll ask my nurse today at my injection training and see what she says.
