Low estrogen levels make patients feel menopausal so often we use add back therapy to decrease the side effects. The first cycle you could ovulate or may have already ovulated so could be pregnant. After that month pregnancy is very unlikely. ...Read more

Gonal F (follitropin alfa): It does not matter at all where you inject; I suggest rotating spots to avoid bruising and soreness. "Take injections out?" Do you mean of the refrigerator? Or? It helps if they are warmed to room temperature before sue, if that's what you are asking. Best wishes with your IVF! ...Read more

Risky: In an article by Rossi and others in the journal Obstetrics and Gynecology of January 2011 they looked at more than 4700 IVF cycles/2500 couples, looking at live birth rate after IVF. In women or men with 4+ drinks/week prior to IVF cycle there was a 48 % higher risk for failure of fertilization and a 21% lower chance for a live birth. You have to use your own judgement but you may be gambling. ...Read more
