Hey ladies, started puregon tonight i always get so nervous doing my first one for some reason?

Kass the difference between down reg and antag is down reg supresses all your normal hormones and then you stimulate but with the antag on the first day of your period you start stimulating. And like Staffy said the only difference i know between them is that you get less but better quality eggs on the antag cycle and i think the antag cycle is easier as its a shorter one. My last 2 STIMs have been down reg and no success so i thought why not try something different and atleast it wont drag on as much. My clinic still does long down reg cycles but you need to use lucrin (injection form) which at my clinic is an extra $200. But i have heard there is no more synarel too.

Saffy goodluck with your FET XX

JBM i hope AF leaves soon for you xx

Nothingtolose, welcome and i wish you all the best with your IVF journey i hope its a short one. With your injections etc thats all normal and us ladies know those names all to well. Im on 125 puregon (which is the same as gonal-f just another brand) i am a good responder so my doses are always low but everyone is different and the first STIM cycle is always a bit of trial and error as like i said everyone responds differently, with my first STIM i was on 175 and they had to drop my dose a few times but now im on number 3 STIM so they have my doses sorted. xxxx
