FOSTIMON 150 IU

Fostimon 150 IU: Affordable FSH for IVF Stimulation

Fostimon 150 IU is a trusted follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) medication used in IVF and fertility treatment. Sourced from a licensed European pharmacy, Fast IVF offers Fostimon 150 IU at a much lower cost than most US retail options — without cutting corners on quality or safety.

What Is Fostimon 150 IU Used For?

Fostimon 150 IU is a gonadotropin medication prescribed for women going through IVF or other fertility treatments. The active ingredient, urofollitropin, is a highly purified form of follicle-stimulating hormone extracted from the urine of postmenopausal women. This hormone tells your ovaries to grow multiple eggs at once, which is the main goal of ovarian stimulation.

Doctors prescribe Fostimon for women who need medical help getting pregnant, whether due to anovulation, low ovarian reserve, or IUI and IVF cycles. It may be used alone or alongside another FSH medication depending on your protocol.

How Does Fostimon 150 IU Work?

Fostimon delivers pure FSH into your body through a small subcutaneous injection — meaning it goes into the fatty tissue just under the skin, usually in the belly or thigh. Once injected, the hormone travels to the ovaries and signals the follicles to develop and mature.

Your doctor chooses the dose based on your age, weight, AMH levels, and past cycle response. Some women do well on 150 IU per day, others need higher doses. Most cycles last 8 to 12 days, with ultrasounds and blood tests along the way to track follicle growth.

Fostimon vs Gonal-F vs Menopur: What’s the Difference?

These three medications all support follicle growth, but they’re not identical:

• Fostimon — pure urinary FSH (urofollitropin). Similar to Bravelle.
• Gonal-F — recombinant FSH (follitropin alfa), made through lab technology.
• Menopur and Meriofert — HMG products containing both FSH and LH activity.

Many clinics combine a pure FSH like Fostimon with an HMG like Menopur for better balance of hormones during stimulation. Your clinic picks what works best for your body.

How to Inject Fostimon 150 IU

Fostimon comes as a powder that you mix with sterile water right before injecting. Here’s the general process:

1. Wash your hands and clean the injection site with alcohol.
2. Draw the sterile water into the syringe and inject it into the Fostimon vial.
3. Swirl gently until the powder dissolves — do not shake.
4. Draw the mixed solution back into the syringe.
5. Pinch a small area of skin on your lower belly or upper thigh, insert the needle at a 90-degree angle, and inject slowly.
6. Dispose of the needle in a sharps container.

Possible Side Effects

Fostimon is generally well tolerated, but some women experience mild side effects including bloating, abdominal tenderness, headache, fatigue, or redness at the injection site. A less common but more serious risk is ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS), which is why your clinic monitors you closely.
