Dear friends.
A question-what about in virto for the breastfeeding mom.  41 year old,
baby now 18 months.  Has been told she must wean because of the drugs she
will need to take.  Most of them I found in Hale 2000 and all were
compatible with breastfeeding.  Can you help me out with the others?

Gonal F 3 amps (75 IU) twice daily for 14 days
  (is this the same drug, chorionic gonadotropin that Hale
says is    OK)
HCG 10,000 units IM once
Progesterone 1cc=50mg IM daily for 2-4 weeks

Most likely, the oral bioavaibility of these things is low.  Why else are
they injected?

One more question-- Do you think breastfeeding an 18 month old (he really
likes to nurse!) will impact the success of the procedure.

Many thanks--Chonyi
