Experiences with

Cetrotide

Hi, so I was on day 2 of my Cetrotide injection and spilled a lot of it when I didn’t realize bubbles in the syringe. I could only inject a little more liquid that was left. Should I be worried? My doctor put me on 3 more Cetrotide for the weekend.

I started luveris with the gonal f and then cetrotide in the am. 2 days later, the scan still showed little growth so my gonal f dosage was doubled. I had another scan yesterday and only 2 follicles are over the 14mm mark. I'm still on 300iu gonal f and 75 luveris. Also taking cetrotide.

Its day 5 and following scans and bloods on Friday I’ve been asked to take the Cetrotide injection on Sunday (Day 6). Should I be worried? Also today I can really smell the chemicals, even when I touch my stomach I feel like the smell comes off on my hands - is that normal? Thank you all!

I’m on day 6 and have been asked to take my Cetrotide injection this morning and have a scan tomorrow morning. Thank you in advance! Xx

I’m so worried about ovulating early despite being on Cetrotide to prevent ovulation. Any wise words / experience of similar situations? Advice appreciated as always! X

Has anyone have cetrotide prior to a frozen transfer please? I am so stressed and worried about this now. Thank you x

Hi,I'm in a bit of a panic as I had quite a big blob of blood when withdrawing needle after injecting cetrotide today. Typically it's Sunday and clinic is closed so I can't ring anyone for advice.

Then cetrotide was restarted on the 8th day of stimulating I am now wondering where my other follicles disappeared to. Could I have ovulated ealier and the clinic isn't telling me? I would love to hear from you ×××

injection short and not have cetrotide the morning of my trigger shot which is a Monday… Has anyone had their trigger shot without cetrotide that day?

Protocol was 300iu Gonal for the first 4 days then 250 for the last 7 (changed down to 200 after day 9 scan) with Cetrotide 0.25 for the last 5 days. Trigger shot was 0.1 Decapeptyl x2 on Monday night, Retrieval Wednesday morning.

I always believed you had to be on Cetrotide or similar to stop ovulation. any thoughts appreciated, I am desperate to make sure everything is done right to give this my best shot...my time is really running out.xxx Thanks for reading and my love and hugs and huge good wishes to all the wonderful ladies

Buserelin is out of stock at the moment so wasn't sure if cetrotide would be something I could ask for instead?

I am on my day 8 of my Ivf injections (menopur and cetrotide) I do not have any symptoms and I am currently experiencing ovulation is this normal?

She's advised to delay taking the Cetrotide which I was due to start today till after my next scan on Friday to give them another couple of days of stims to see if any of the smaller ones start to grow.

The four follicles growing from my last scan had continued to grow and the biggest was 14mm so I’ve now started my Cetrotide (I find the injections for this the most difficult/painful) They’ve also increased my dose of Pergoveris to 375.

This time I did the scratch, took gonal f for 8 days, cetrotide for 3 days, then trigger shot. I’m taking progesterone suppositories 3 times a day, baby aspirin and a steroid. Any stories that could help get me hopeful again would be much appreciated!! 🙏❤️

They asked me to do an ovulation test that evening which showed normal levels, so they suggested it could’ve just been a I hadn’t yet had my Cetrotide injection when I had the test, and advised me to take ibuprofen.

Did anyone’s clinic warn them about the risk of anaphylaxis taking Cetrotide? I read the data sheet and it says the first dose should be given under close medical supervision due to the risk of life threatening anaphylaxis?! It’s not a small risk either (1/100 to 1/1000).

hi does any have a similar reaction to the Cetrotide I injected 2days ago and I have had a red circle mark and sligh brushing since it still hasn’t gone !

 I am currently on day 5 of gonal F and started my first injection of cetrotide today. What kind of side effects did people get? Any advice on anything would be great thank you x
