Experiences with

Cetrorelix

Both of which were short protocols using ‘Gonal F and Cetrorelix ‘ however the failed cycle earlier this year was with ‘Menopur’ and ‘buserelin’.

Today I had my first monitoring scan after being on Menopur and Cetrorelix. Today I only had 9 follicles. The nurse seemed happy enough with everything but can't help but feel disappointed that some of my follicles haven't responded.

I had my egg retrieval on Wednesday and as I have PCOS was fairly unsurprised that they diagnosed me with OHSS (I had 18 follicles on each side) and transferred me to a frozen cycle with Cetrorelix injections to try and stabilise me.

I was supposed to have taken my final cetrorelix shot this morning in preparation for egg collection on Tuesday. However, I managed to spill it all over my pyjamas when I tried to draw the shot up. I'm waiting for an urgent call back in an hour but I am so stressed that I may ovulate!!

Androgen/estrogen deprivation therapy/gonadotrophin agonists/antagonists (Lupron®, Lupron Depot®, leuprorelin, Eligard®, leuprolide, Zoladex®, goserelin, Suprefact®, buserelin, Eulexin®, flutaminde, Trelstar®, triptorelin, Vantas®, histrelin, Firmagon®, degarelix, long-term treatment with Cetrotide®, cetrorelix

Start cetrorelix on the 25th october at .25mgs daily until HSG. Got all my dates for my scans today too. My burning questions are; Do i take both the Gonal and Cetro at the same time?

I have been injecting for a week and had two scans now I have 11 follicles altogether ATM but was told they are growing slowly so depending on how scan goes Friday I may have to have more Menopur and Cetrorelix me be rescanned Monday ; which was original ec day.
