Anyone starting IVF Jan/Feb want to join me - Page 6

hey- I've also started the norethindrone (if that's the same thing you mean jojo). I think it's progesterone that goes along with the down regging drugs to prevent cysts- or at least that's what the nurse said. They make me feel really sleepy, but I think I'm starting to get used to them. Today I don't feel so tired.

As far as I know Northisterone is used to control the timing of your period, either postpone it or stop it from coming all together. Means they are in control of the timing rather than leaving it up to your body. It affects the lining of your womb, thickness etc... Must ask on Tues.

Good luck for this week everyone and anything that may or may not be coming up

Good luck for Monday!! My next scan is 28th Jan. Starting the tablets tomorrow!!! Will take them from 16th-23rd inclusive. The Northisterone allows them to control the timing of your period. So I'll have a light bleed two to three days after I finish them. Then scan is to ensure womb lining is nice and thin and that I'm ready to start injections. Am really excited but bringing home all the needles etc was slightly daunting too!!!

Another week of the journey completed, another week closer to our

No they are different.Lupron is a LHRH aginist which means its supresses your FSH, LH but before it does it cause a surge of one of the hormones.
Buserlin puts you into temprary menoppuase by shutting the system down so the other drugs can take over. I probably havent explained it in the best way but its somethin like that

Some people are on lupron first for a few months as they respond better to ivf drugs when they start.

Will let u know how the scan went. lining meeds to be less than 5mm..

brooklyn1 · Jan 16th, 2010, 10:47 AM

actually, as far as I can tell, they use Lupron in the states and Canada in the same way that busrelin is used in the UK. Everyone here takes Lupron for two weeks for down regging and then starts stims. They told me that the Lupron shuts down your system and puts you into a temporary menopause, so I'm pretty sure it's doing the same thing as the busrelin-
They also use lupron long term for people with Endo because it shuts down that process as well...
It took me a while to figure out that lupron and busrelin were the same process- I even posted here a few months ago asking about side effects of lupron and wondered why no one at all replied...

H9i brooklyn you are right, in the UK. zoladex is used for endo, is huge here because the company that make it were british ( coz i used to work for them)

i dont really know much about lupron but interesting to know that its the same as buserelin xx

Hi gum, sorry to hear your story. Do you think there is any chance the docs could be wrong. I cant imagine what it must be like being pg knowing that you will miscarry.
Hope it all goes ok on 18th.
