Zoladex/Buserelin before IVF

Hi everyone,

I'm currently on zoladex and going to be starting my first round of IVF shortly. I've been prescribed Buserelin for my IVF treatment but I'm a bit confused as it seems to do the same thing as the zoladex. Has anyone else had zoladex followed by Buserelin? They seem to both surpress the cycle so not sure why both are needed.
