I'm dealing with a peptic ulcer and I'm really not sure what foods are okay for me to eat. Could you give me some guidance on a diet that would help with this? Also, any advice on the best times to eat would be super helpful. I'm just trying to manage this the best I can.

Decapeptyl Injection Before Frozen Embryo Transfer (IVF)

What is Decapeptyl?

Decapeptyl is a gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist (GnRHa) injection, containing triptorelin, used to suppress ovarian function.

Why is Decapeptyl used before Frozen Embryo Transfer (IVF)?

1. Ovarian suppression: Decapeptyl helps suppress ovarian function, reducing the risk of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) and improving embryo implantation rates.
2. Synchronization: Decapeptyl synchronizes the menstrual cycle, allowing for better timing of the frozen embryo transfer.

Administration and Dosage

1. Injection timing: Decapeptyl is typically administered 7-14 days before the planned frozen embryo transfer.
2. Dosage: The recommended dosage is 0.1-0.2 mL (0.1-0.2 mg) of Decapeptyl, administered via subcutaneous injection.

Common Side Effects

1. Hot flashes
2. Mood changes (e.g., anxiety, depression)
3. Headache
4. Fatigue
5. Sleep disturbances
6. Vaginal dryness
7. Mild pain or swelling at the injection site

Less Common Side Effects

1. Ovarian cysts
2. Changes in liver function
3. Allergic reactions (rare)

Precautions and Contraindications

1. Pregnancy and breastfeeding: Decapeptyl is contraindicated during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
2. Hypersensitivity: Avoid Decapeptyl if you have a known hypersensitivity to triptorelin or other GnRH agonists.
