I'm not really too sure. I have normally taken pregnyl to trigger ovulation to help with timing for an IUI or IVF. I normally take progesterone supplements (crinone) to extend my luteal phase, but I think I have heard of pregnyl helping with that too.
What type of cycle are you doing?
Overall I didn't have a problem with the pregnyl it just makes you feel a little bit pregnant for a few days until its out of your system (breast tenderness/slight nausea), so I guess it can't hurt. I also gave hubby menevit which although not miraculous did somewhat help with his swimmers "speed/motility".
Best of luck, hope you can find some answers there are many very experienced ladies here with heaps of helpful advice!
Pregnyl shots can also be used to support your luteal phase as the hormones promote an increase in progesterone levels.
25% is not all that bad actually! Good luck with your cycle
Thanks MM, glad to hear that you didn't have any problems with Pregnyl. This will be the first thing we are trying which isn't 'natural'. My cycle is great aside from the short luteal phase (and shocking PMS but that is just normal for me!) DH is 38, am 31 and we are trying for our first.
Thanks to both of you for the good wishes, I guess I am just feeling a little uniformed by my FS which is disappointing... and feeling sad that we may need to rely on western medicine to make it happen on our timetable... cest la vie! As long as it happens eventually
