Step up protocol??????????

Post by czattau »

well i had my last visit w/re to discuss the next step.....kinda depressing. i guess i was on a very aggressive protocol and there is only 1 "option" left......never thought i would hear this from a re......so i am going to be on the step up protocol....ever heard of it?
i guess i will be taking lupron IM....lovely! i will stay w/1 menopur and take less gonal f. they want to stim be slower in hopes for better quality. they also want the follies to be 20-24 in size vs 18-22 before.....i assume i will be stimming quite a bit longer.
they will be adding glucophage, aspirin, lovenex B6 & B16 and and a steroid before the transfer.
i would love to hear your thoughts and experiences.....

Thanks :-)
