High Lupron Dose

September 11, 2008

Did anyone out here take a really high Lupron dose? I will be taking 20 units of 5mg/ml 2 weeks before my IVF cycle..i was looking for some information regarding chances of hyperstimulation and side effects..Thank you!

Actually I use 10 units on my patients and it works just fine. Hyperstimulation comes when you actually start taking the gonadotropins and that is later in the IVF cycle. A good physician can try to help prevent hyperstimulation from occuring by close monitoring or cancelling your cycle if you are too sensitive to the dose they have prescribed. Good luck with your IVF cycle.
