Anyhow, for those of you that are interested, here is a listing of the drug regimen that I will have to follow. I should be starting this sometime around Thanksgiving. So say some prayers for me that I can handle giving myself the injections (I HATE needles) and also for my family that they can deal with all these hormonal changes that are going to happen. Very interesting that the whole family is going to be exposed to our ordeal since we'll be seeing them all over the holidays. Best of luck to them. ;)
- Bravelle 75iu injections + Menopur 75iu injections - these are the FSH drugs that stimulate the ovary to make mature eggs as well as inducing the development of multiple eggs
- Ganirelix Acetate - this is a GnRH antagonist which controls ovulation and prevents premature ovulation until triggered by a HCG injection
- HCG - human chorionic gonadotropin - induces ovulation
- Crinone 8% gel - a vaginal progesteron it prepares the lining of the uterus for implantation of a fertilized egg. Since women going through IVF likely will not produce enough progesterone on their own because of the drug to control ovulation this is needed to provide that necessary hormone to thicken the uterus for our little embryo.
