How the monitoring process works?
Note: Follicular Scan-is used to assess the thickness of the endometrium (lining of the uterus), and monitor follicular development. If the lining is thin, it may indicate a hormonal problem.
The E2 blood tests are for the AFCT Team so they can manage your care.
The Stimulation Cycle
During IVF, Lupron is used to suppress or control the timing of ovulation so that mature eggs may be retrieved before they are spontaneously released. Lupron is a subcutaneous injection (under the skin administer in the belly) administered when you are advised to finish taking the active birth control pills.
It usually takes 1 to 3 weeks for Lupron suppression to occur. When advised of the date, the medications Follistim, Gonal-F, and Repronex (subcutaneous injections), will be administered daily to simulate the ovary.
• Follistim and Gonal-F – also called FSH
• Repronex- also called LH and FSH and is used to supplement FSH.
As you know Lupron suppresses the ovaries and this is how we can manipulate your cycle. The day you have been instructed to start your FSH is considered Cycle Day 3. (you may not have a flow).
You will need to have an estradiol level drawn on day 3.
The injections will typically begin around day 3 of the cycle and continue until an optimal follicle size is reached. Monitoring with ultrasound and estradiol will typically fall on day 6, 8, 9&10 of the cycle. This lasts for a minimum of 10 days and a maximum of 14 days.
Once at least two mature size follicles are seen, Profasi (hCG) (an intramuscularly injection) will be given to induce ovulation. Ovulation usually occurs about 36 hours after Profasi (hCG) is injected; therefore, the removal of eggs is timed approximately 34 to 36 hours after injection.
