Hey guys took my trigger today at 1230am and was wondering what the difference is between pregnyl and ovidrel? I had pregnyl last cycle witha booster injection. This time no booster needed but used ovidrel to trigger this time . Is it the same but a different brand???

from what i understand, there are two main manufacturers of products for AC - one manufactures puregon, cetrotide and pregnyl, the other gonal-f, orgalutron and ovidrel. they're basically exactly the same - the only thing i've noticed from my research is that ovidrel seems to stick around longer in your system so can impact the result of HPT's for longer - but the actual action is basically the same...

I learned a disturbingly large amount from such a short post - interesting and useful to know all of that, thanks BG!

glad i could help!

i only learnt myself cos on IUI's they use cetrotide, IVF they used orgalutron for exactly the same thing!

Nikki - meant to mention that you may find you're not using a booster shot as you'll be using alternate support (progesterone pessaries or crinone gel)...
