    MOST HELPFUL
    December 01, 2016

    My mom used this and on her second cycle on it, she conceived me (1986). It was known as "Pergonal" back in the day, but since the 80s it's been reformulated. She said Clomid didn't do anything and she wonders why it's still prescribed.

    I had Gonal f very effective had 2 mature folicals. With 4 others.

    I guess that's why everything isn't for everyone. I used Gonal F and I only had 1 follicle progress over 18mm the others were a little behind. The stimulation wasn't the best for me it resulted in 4 retrieved 3 matured 1 fertilized. I'm 33 no know fertility issues, male factor issues. I can say it's easy to use and no pain. I had a really weird cycle I was suppressed for 3 months as well.

    My first full treatment cycle we paired Letrazole with Gonal, and neither did anything for me at all. I only had one mature follicle (which I was basically doing on my own, only later in the cycle). However, we believe the trigger shot they gave me forced ovulation which wasn't happening for me before, and I was able to get pregnant on this cycle because of the trigger shot. The Letrazole was much milder than Clomid, and I barely had side effects. I had no side effects from Gonal other than some bloating, and the injection did not hurt at all.

    It was used to stimulate my ovaries, but I was not a great responder to it.
