What suprecur does is shut down my reproductive cycle. It basically stops the message getting through to my ovaries to mature my usual monthly egg. It is, literally, the menopause in a nasal spray.
The purpose of this is to make it easier to synchronise my cycle with the woman or surrogate who is getting some of my eggs. I started the process of egg donation in January 2013 - by going to my GP and saying, "Erm, I'd like to donate some of my eggs. How do I, like, do that?" - and this is the chemical preparation finally starting.
In the meantime I've had blood tests and genetic screenings (turns out I have pretty decent genetics, I'll summarise that letter at some point here because it was like having your horoscope read, but with science!) and 'implications' counselling. I came off my birth control and for a few months there was a bit of a wait while a recipient was chosen for my eggs, and they tried to work out how out of sync we were (the answer is; very).
Hence the suprecur.
