Gonal-f dosing?

Question

I will be starting my first IVF round in July and I am questioning the gonal-f dosing. The nurse said I would be taking 300iu/ day. 150 in the am and 150 in the pm. I am 25 year old with unexplained infertility. My husband and I have been trying for 2 years now without any explanation to why we’ve not gotten pregnant. All tests are normal. I’ve seen much lower doses of people on gonal-f and I’m terrified of overstimulating.

What was your starting dose?

Answer

It really is different for everyone. I am 27, all normal labs/levels and for my first cycle of ivf I was on 200 of follistim (basically same as gonal f) and 150 of menopur and I didn’t respond well at all which was a shock to all of us. This cycle I am on 350 follistim and still 150 menopur and it’s working perfectly.

Answer

I start at 225 in pm . And increase to 300 . Than after they saw The follicles growing fast they reduced it to 150. They will reduce if they see the follicles growing. Don’t worry about it the doctor does this all day. They will reduce if they have to.

Answer

Everyone’s dose is different actually. It all depends on your hospital. I did Menopur 225iu for 5 days, alternate 225iu and 150iu for 4 days, and 75iu on the last day. Trigger shot is tonight and retrieval on Monday

Answer

Hi. I have always done 300 Gonal-f and 300 Menopur for my cycles. I have a pretty high BMI and advanced endometriosis on both ovaries though and don’t respond well to the stim drugs.

Answer

I’m starting that tonight. Was supposed to start at 225 but when I went for my scan on Tuesday they already reduced it to 150, so don’t worry they will adjust as needed!

Answer

100iu a day then 125iu a day back to 100iu then the last day before trigger I did 150iu I only got 10 eggs but we were male factor
