Stims dosage

[luthien]

Just wondering what is everyone's "max combined dose" that they're on / have been on during stims?

I've been through two cycles, on two different combinations, amended slightly:

Cycle 1: Ovaleap 375

Cycle 2: Ovaleap 300 and menopur 75

My clinic when planning meds for cycle 2 said that the max dosage for stims is 375, they don't go over that so whatever combination of evening injections cannot be above 375. Anyone else had this? Any reason? Some people on here seem to have higher doses.

I'm so confused, the clinic didn't explain apart from they just don't do it.

Taking time out for a few months before going for cycle 3, so just researching as much as possible.

Hi Luthien - max dose for me has been 300iu. In fact that’s the only dose I’ve been prescribed over 3 cycles, with differing combinations of meriofert, fostimon and gonal-f. My doctor told me that it’s the maximum dose they do as they noticed that with higher doses egg quality seemed to be negatively affected, although I have heard of many women being on higher doses elsewhere, so I guess clinics have differing views on this

Interesting, I shall look into the lower dosage and egg quality.

It varies by drug - I was on Menopur and that was 450. But I believe ovaleap and Meriofort and others are lower dose as higher potency

My max was 300 gonal f 2xs daily - it worked. However I had better egg counts and %mature with lower stims 150 gonal f + 37.5 menopur 2xs daily - don't know how those will work out as they are on ice.

Thanks, I shall research into lower doses.
