Menopur is a gonadotropin that’s used during fertility treatments, like in vitro fertilization (IVF), to help people who are having trouble becoming pregnant.

Menopur is a gonadotropin medication that contains a mixture of two hormones that are found naturally in the body:

• follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH). These two hormones help your ovaries prepare mature eggs for ovulation. Using Menopur can make it easier for you to conceive a baby if you’re having trouble getting pregnant.

The dose of Menpur is unique for every person. It’s crucial to follow your fertility specialist’s instructions very carefully. In general, the typical starting dose of Menopuris 225 international units (IU) injected under the skin once a day starting on day 2 or 3 of an IVF cycle. You’ll need blood tests and ultrasounds done at the fertility center every few days to see if your dose needs to be adjusted.
