michael55 - I used Luveris on my 2nd (most recent) IVF cycle, along with Gonal F. I'm not sure if Luveris is the reason, by I produced more mature eggs and I'm pregnant this time around :)

I dont have many answers for you but Im about to start taking luveris also. I hadnt heard much about it either so I posted a question on here about it a few weeks ago. Its on a thread called something like "med question for ghost or something" maybe a week or so ago. My understanding is that it is lh hormone. Some drugs are fsh and some are lh. Some are a combo of both (I think). and Luveris is lh only I believe its used in combination with and fsh hormone (like folistim or gonal-f). I guess you need both hormones for good stimulation. Again this is just my understanding of it (and that has been wrong many times with if :) Good Luck)

michael55 - I'm not sure who a good candidate would be since I took Luveris on the same study as mkdig, the Duramed progesterone study. I did find a link that gives a little more information, if you're interested - http://www.fertilitylifelines.com/seron ... s/faqs.jsp. Good luck!
