Genotropin Human Growth Hormones

Hello good people,

The only available human growth hormone in my country is Genotropin by Pfizer. Has anyone ever used it as a HGH to improve egg quality in IVF?

hello I wonder how you got on with this if you don’t mind me asking? My consultant would like us to try it on our next cycle but I’m unsure! If you have any experience I would love to hear 🙏 thanks

I was told it would help, but never used it anyway because of the cost

I used it in my recent egg retrieval. I will let you know the results when I know.

Hi, just following up on your results using hormone growth?

It didn't lead to better results. I just got one Day 6 4BB blastocyst. So I don't think it helped.

Thank you. I would also like to tell you that I am experiencing bad side effects. Hip joint pain , stiffness in fingers in morning etc. Managing with painkillers. It did a number on me.

Do you know what might be causing the side effects? Did you transfer the embryo you got?

I didn't transfer the embryo as yet. Possibly next year.
