Day 1 – Lupron
Friday, August 3, 2012
I started the Lupron injections today. I am taking 10 units in the AM and 10 units in the PM. The needle for the Lupron is skinnier than the other injections. It is 28 1/2 thin, which is good. Below is a re-cap of what the Lupron is used for
Lupron (leuprolide acetate, a GnRH Agonist)
-
as the trigger injection prior to egg retrieval to reduce the risk of hyperstimulation
-
as part of the “flare” protocol to help women who respond poorly to fertility medications.
-
suppression of the pituitary to prevent ovulation
