Is it possible to stop the body from automatically performing LH surge?

indianlady17 · Aug 22, 2013

All,

I had my 1st IUI (Gonal f cycle) on 7 aug 2013 on Day 11 of my cycle.
I had 1 dominant follicle of size 16.5 mm and 2 others of size 15 mm on day 10.
But on Day 10 the doc found that I already started the LH surge and I will ovulate within 24-48 hrs.
So they suggested I take the trigger shot of Day 10 evening and come in for an IUI on Day 11 at 1 PM.
Yesterday I started spotting and today is my day 1. I will be proceeding with my 2nd IUI this cycle. I have read somewhere that during IVF the patients are given some shots so that they dont start the LH surge before the egg retreival.
I would like to know the name of the medicine given for that and also has anybody had such med during IUI?

Please provide your details. I am posting the same question in IVF Queries thread as well, so that someone from IVF thread may help me.

Thanks.

Hello,

Can someone please respond to my query.
If there is a medicine to stop the LH surge, I have to request the nurse today as my cycle will start tomorow after the baseline test.
Please let me know.

HI Indian Lady,
It would be too tough to control the LH levels. Only with extensive monitoring it might be controlled.
I hope the doc won't be attempting in that way. May be other hormones can be altered or monitored which migth pause the LH level growth.
I hope by now you have crossed this stage!
All the best!
