Rekovelle. Menopur shortage

Hi I am going into a new cycle and wondered if anyone has used Rekovelle for Stims as there is a shortage of Menopur. This is our 4th cycle and I responded best to Menopur before. The Dr recommended Rekovelle as an alternative but I haven't heard of it before. Would appreciate if anyone has any info. Thanks

Hello

I had Rekovelle, I had a disaster cycle. I don't know if that was down to it being Rekovelle or the dose of Rekovelle which was 180.
My AMH is 13.4 and I have around 20 follicles and I'm 40.
They expected me to retrieve around 10 eggs. Cycle 1 on Rekovelle I only got 3 eggs and only 1 got to blastocyst which failed to implant. The clinic actually tested me in case I was a poor responder!

Second round I asked for menopur. They gave me 300 menopur, upped to 450 at Day 5 as not responding as well. Once they did that it got going and and we got 10 eggs and 4 blasts (5AB, 4AB, 4BB and 3BC). I transferred the 3BC as my lining wasn't as thick on the menopur. (The only good thing out of the rekovelle cycle was my lining was 9.9 which is good for me!)

I did a FET 2.5 weeks ago and got my positive this week. X
