Buserelin shortage

Hi all

I am new here and also new to the IVF world.

I have endometriosis and blocked fallopian tubes so I will need IVF to conceive.

I have NHS funding and would be able to get going immediately but everything is being held up due to a UK shortage of buserelin.

Due to my high AMH and low BMI I have been told the clinic won't do a cycle unless it's short protocol with buserelin trigger as I am at high risk of OHSS.

However apparently it's out of stock everywhere in the UK and the clinic have no idea when it will be back!

I've had a look online and it seems there were some shortages last year but I thought it was sorted out by now.

Is anyone going through something similar and able to commiserate or does anyone have any advice?

Thanks!

Hi ladies, hope you’re all getting on well & the wait isn’t too much longer!

I picked up a prescription of Buserelin from the Asda pharmacy last week. My clinic gave me a private prescription & Asda ordered it in for me within a couple of days. May be worth a try if any of you are still waiting x

I start my meds at my next period which I think should be earlyish May. Feels like it’s come around so quick. I’ve been watching “making babies” and it’s really helped me to understand the process. Good luck everyone.

It seems that there is still shortage of suprecur and nafarelin. Is anyone else having issues finding either of them?
