Ghost or anybody, Menopur vs Repronex

Post by yaskayra »

Ghost Im just wondering whats the difference between Menopur vs Repronex and if both act the same. I know that both contain LH. Im asking because in my last cycle my Doc use Bravelle and Repronex, and for this coming cycle I will use Bravelle and Menopur.

I'm not sure how I missed this one before.

They are pretty much the same. The main active ingredient in Menopur, Repronex, and Bravelle (and Gonal F and Follistim) is FSH.

Some contain a little LH.

Menopur contains a little hCG instead, which acts much like LH but lasts longer.

The doctors I work with like a combination of Menopur and Follistim.
