The nasal spray is pretty commonly used in the NHS. It acts just in the same way as prostap but it's a gradual build up. Again Bemfola is much the same as Menopur but I've heard of a few ladies responding better to Bemfola than Menopur so might be a good thing! Best of luck lovely!xxx
I used daily buserelin injections, which is v similar to Synarel, and Bemfola for stims. Seemed to work well for me, good egg and blasto numbers and BFP on second go. Make sure you push the Bemfola needle on well (but donβt twist). There are reports of the needles leaking at the base and I thought that on round one, but actually not sure it wasnβt just running down from the tip after priming. Good luck! Xx
Hi Purpledoggy,I'm scanning old posts as I just injected Bemfola for the first time and had this - liquid all over my fingers even though the needle was in all the way and about 8-10 drips on the carpet. What did I do wrong?
It might be the needle wasnβt on far enough-I pushed it on firmly so it clicked but it says not to twist. I assume you primed first? If i got drips on the outside during priming I wiped them off the syringe with a bit of tissue to make sure they then didnβt drip on me. If it happens again maybe ask your clinic as they might be able to video call with you to help xx
I was on buserelin (injection similar to synarel) and bemfola. I was fine on both and for my second round they upped the bemfola and I collected lots more eggs compared to my first round (round 1: 3 mature, 12 collected; round 2: 8 mature, 20 collected) - so hopefully the high dose of bemfola brings you lots of luck too!!
I found the bemfola easier than menopur to inject (personally, although hubby was doing the injecting whilst I was eating haribo to distract myself π)
Have everything crossed for you! So so pleased itβs all kicking off π€π½π€π½π€π½π€π½ Xxx
We used synarel nasal spray in our private treatment to shut everything down. It was ok to be honest, got used to it pretty quick π breathe it in deeply as you spray. Good luck with your new protocols xx
I had Synarel when I did a long protocol privately. It had a bad after taste to me but all in all not terrible.
Bemfola is a bio similar (like a generic, but for biological medicines - ema.europa.eu/en/medicines/... for Gonal F so if you did well with Gonal F this should be the same. Presumably they use it because biosimilars are cheaper than the brand.
