Advise on stimulation drugs

Hi all,

The best response I ever had was on Menopur

Since this is currently unavailable I’ve used Meriofert but egg count and quality has been poor.

The consultant is advising Gonal F combined with Meriofert for the next round.

Wondering if anyone has had a similar experience and found Gonal F/Meriofert worked or has any more general advise.

Is Menopur available anywhere that can be sourced independently, I’d feel much more confident if we could have what’s got a track record of working 💔

hi, I think it is available if you buy a higher dose/ strength. When I checked 3 month ago 75iu was unavailable but 150iu was. In the UK, it is sourced by Ferring pharmaceuticals , maybe call them? Tel +44(0)844 931 0050. Good luck. I’m sure you know. But check with your Dr before purchasing a higher strength product

Hi there, I've always had a really good response to Menopur, not so much to Gonal F from a quality point of view but the last two cycles I've used Pergoveris which I also had a really good response to so that might be an alternative if the Menopur is still unavailable.
