Hello, best to speak to the nurse and she can adjust the meds. However, just to assure you, I don't think it will have a adverse effect. It's possible to take doses up to 450iu and my Drs have always been flexible on the dose. The only difference for me has been a few more or less eggs. So you might get a few more eggs and medication wasted and may need more if you don't have enough.Only other potential risk is OHSS which would require monitoring, but only if your AFC or AMH suggests high response. They'll be able to scan you and give you a blood test to check.

Good luck for this cycle x

Thank you for the advice I do have a high amh but I remember the last time I was on menopur 75 dosage and this is why I got confused as I thought I was on the same dosage but they have me on menopur 150 and why I mixed the 2 powders instead of 1 I didn't no until I took my dosage last night but thank god I checked its been only 3 days so I'm hoping I didn't mess up so much I will definitely let my nurse no when I go in this morning and I will happily go back to my normal dose if everything is okay this is a long stressful journey and you just want everything to go perfect hubby's been reassuring me it will be fine he nos I'm a overthinker and wouldn't get sleep lol

I understand the anxiety. I've made mistakes myself and overthought the whole process. But honestly I think you'll be fine. The nurse will sort you out. I look forward to seeing your BFP post in a few weeks!

I think we just over thinking it sometimes🤣 just a update nurse rang me and said they checked my bloods and to just reduce my dosage to 150 what I should have been taking 🤣 and a scan on Sunday so hopefully it didn't affect me to much since they want to continue me on the low dose

Hi there, sometimes taking a video of the drug prep demo from the nurses can help ☺️ I’m sure all is fine. Good luck with the rest of your cycle
