On an equivalent dose basis, produces serum FSH that are somewhat slower to rise than with the use of hMG preparations, but which are ultimately higher: in other words, follicles and serum estradiol levels take a little longer to respond than they do to Humegon, but the number of mature, preovulatory follicles available for egg retrieval is the same or more. ...
