If you haven’t already begun accumulating a new IVF vocabulary, you soon will, and it will include the names of such IVF drugs such as Menopur, Estrace, and Ganirelix. This IVF med is an injectable IVF medication that is generally prescribed for women who are having issues with their ovaries. It is one of a group of IVF drugs that are called gonadotropin antagonists. It blocks the gonadotropin from affecting the pituitary, which suppresses the LH and FSH.

 

What Ganirelix Does, and What It Doesn’t Do as an Infertility Medication
The bottom line is, Ganirelix prevents the eggs from being released too soon, thus allowing them to mature fully. This is especially useful in IVF procedures. The best manufacturer of this drug seems to be Organon in Europe. It sometimes goes by the name Antagon as well. While generics of this IVF med are offered, its success rates have mixed results.

Patient 2: This patient states that she was a bit worried about giving herself injections of Ganirelix, but that it was easier than she thought. The needle was so small, she states, that it really didn’t hurt at all. She took another poster’s suggestion to ice down the area first, and it worked well.

Patient 3: A woman who was new to IVF asks others in the forum about Ganirelix and their thoughts about its use. Several members of the forum state that used in combination with other IVF meds seems to be doing the trick for producing more mature eggs. The follicles are producing and holding on to them with more regularity they all report.
