Suprecur ? First IVF cycle...

[HelenJudi1]

Hello...

So I am on day 9 of menopur and day 6 of Fyremadel... I had a scan yesterday and they have told me that I am scheduled for my egg retrieval on Tuesday morning...

this is my first cycle of ivf so this is all new to me... they have instructed me to take 1ml of Suprecur on Sunday night at 7pm and this will have me ready for egg retrieval on Tuesday morning at 7.30am...

the only thing is... I was expecting to have to take Ovitrelle as it’s been sitting in my fridge... however they never mentioned it at the clinic? Is this normal? Should I call and double check or is this ok? I am having to have a frozen transfer later on (hopefully- all going well) as I am at risk of ovarian Hyperstimulation...

I don’t want to ring the emergency line if I don’t need to as i have the instructions and it definitely only says suprecur... am I overthinking?

I was on the same protocol and I had to take both the suprecur and the ovitrelle at the same time to trigger. But they did say to me when I got the drugs that in some circumstances I might only need to take one of them. Sounds like that might be the case for you but if in doubt I’d just check.

Hope you get sorted xx

Thank you... I have the instructions as they posted them up on my clinics forum and it definitely only said suprecur and they only spoke about that on the phone... my wife says that I am over thinking it but I’m just worried... I also worry about bugging them because I’ll have to call the emergency line given that it’s the weekend x

Hello, on my last round of IVF I was given both suprecur and ovitrelle and was advised to trigger with ovitrelle only. I think they gave me both ‘just in case’ - my suprecur went unused. But if you’re in any doubt call the clinic - that’s what they are there for. Good luck x

I think the clinic would rather that you rang if you’re concerned. Let’s face it, these clinic staff are unlikely to be badly paid for out of hours phone support given how much a round of ivf costs!

Totally agree with Lizzie 😉

Definitely call them if you are worried. That's what they are there for 😘 It is so important to get your trigger right x x x x
