Menopur 75 IU (SubQ) — Affordable Menotropins for IVF Treatment
Menopur 75 IU contains menotropins — a mix of FSH (follicle-stimulating hormone) and LH (luteinizing hormone) — that work together to stimulate your ovaries during IVF. Each vial gives precise hormone dosing to support follicle growth. It is one of the most widely prescribed IVF medications in the US, used at major clinics like Shady Grove and Kindbody.
It comes as a powder you mix with sterile water before injecting. Because menopur 75 iu delivers both FSH and LH in a single shot, it is popular in protocols where LH activity is needed alongside FSH stimulation. Patients comparing fertility medication prices across pharmacies often choose Fast IVF for European-sourced vials at a much lower cost.
How Does Menopur 75 IU Work?
Menopur stimulates your ovaries to grow multiple follicles at once. The FSH drives follicle growth, the LH supports final egg maturation. This dual-hormone approach makes menopur 75 iu useful for women who do not respond well to FSH-only medications.
Your doctor usually prescribes it alongside other fertility medications during stimulation. Treatment runs about 8–12 days, with doses adjusted from ultrasound monitoring and blood work. Most patients see follicles develop within 5–7 days. To understand why clinics often pair it with an FSH-only option, read our guide on why clinics use Gonal-F and Menopur together.
How Does Menopur Compare to Other FSH Medications?
Here is a quick look at how Menopur lines up next to two common alternatives used in IVF stimulation:
| Medication | Hormones | Form | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| Menopur 75 IU | FSH + LH (menotropins) | Powder + sterile water | Patients who need added LH activity |
| Gonal-F | FSH only (follitropin alfa) | Pre-filled pen | Standard FSH stimulation |
| Meriofert | FSH + LH (menotropins) | Powder + sterile water | A lower-cost HMG alternative |
How to Administer Menopur 75 IU
Menopur 75 IU is given as a subcutaneous injection — just under the skin — usually in the lower abdomen or thigh. Here is what to expect:
- Mix the powder with the provided sterile water
- Draw the solution into your syringe
- Clean the injection site with alcohol
- Inject at a 45–90 degree angle
- Rotate injection sites to reduce bruising
Starting doses usually range from 75 IU to 225 IU daily, set by your doctor based on age, ovarian reserve, and previous cycle response. If you are new to self-injecting, our guide to avoiding injection bruising has practical tips to make it easier.
How Much Does Menopur 75 IU Cost?
Menopur 75 IU costs a lot more at US pharmacies than European-sourced equivalents. Fast IVF brings authentic Menopur from licensed European manufacturers, so patients often save a large amount per vial. Most IVF protocols need several vials across an 8–12 day stimulation window, and those savings add up fast across a full cycle. Shoppers hunting for discount IVF meds and low-cost fertility medications compare per-vial pricing, and Fast IVF stays well under typical US retail.

Storage and Handling
Store unopened vials at room temperature (up to 77°F), away from direct sunlight and moisture. Once mixed with sterile water, use the solution right away — do not store it after reconstitution. For a full list of which medications need cold packs, see our guide on which IVF medications need to be refrigerated.
What Are the Common Side Effects?
Like most menotropin medications, Menopur can cause mild, temporary reactions:
- Injection site redness, swelling, or minor bruising
- Mild abdominal bloating or cramping
- Headaches
- Breast tenderness
- Mood changes
Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) is rare but serious. Contact your doctor right away if you have severe abdominal pain, rapid weight gain, or trouble breathing. The American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM) has detailed guidance on OHSS risk and management.
Who Should Not Use Menopur?
Do not use menopur 75 iu if you have primary ovarian failure, uncontrolled thyroid or adrenal problems, hormone-dependent cancers, unexplained vaginal bleeding, ovarian cysts (outside of PCOS), or are pregnant or suspect you may be.
