Here's what $2,700 dollars will getcha in the fertility drugs arena:

Begins before and during Ovarian Stimulation (Step One below):
1. Lupron - Leuprolide Acetate is administered as a subcutaneous injection using insulin syringes. Insulin syringes are used because the measurement on the syringe is in units (i.e.: 10 units is equivalent to 0.1ml/cc). For the role it plays in assisted reproductive technologies, Leuprolide Acetate is used to reduce the amount of estrogen and testosterone in the body. This decrease in estrogen production will prevent ovulation and stop menstrual period.

Used for Ovarian Stimulation (Step One below):
2. Menopur - Menopur is a gonadotropin that contains a combination of follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) that stimulates the ovaries to produce eggs. Menopur is administered as an injection subcutaneously.

3. GONAL-f - Gonal-f is administered as an injection subcutaneously. Gonal-f acts directly on the ovaries to help stimulate the development of follicles. Gonal-f is also used to stimulate the development of multiple eggs with assisted reproductive technologies.

Used 36 hours before Egg Retrieval (Step Two below):
4. OVIDREL - Ovidrel is administered as a subcutaneous injection. Ovidrel is used to induce ovulation (the release of an egg/eggs from the ovary) after patient monitoring indicates that sufficient follicle(s) growth has occurred.
