Clomid and Gonal?
Getting a bit disheartened if I’m honest.
When I first did treatments 4 years ago I took 100 mg of Clomid and used the hcg trigger shot. Took us 3 tries but we got pregnant on the third.
Fast forward to now, we’re trying for baby two. First <a href="https://glowing.com/glow-fertility-program">IUI</a> we tried 100mg of Clomid - no follicles. So we bumped to 150mg and got 3 (2 good, 1 ehh) - <a href="https://glowing.com/glow-fertility-program">IUI</a> failed
Last month tried 150mg... no follicles. Put me on menopur injectables for 5 days, rechecked - 1 follicle. <a href="https://glowing.com/glow-fertility-program">IUI</a> 2 - fail.
This month they tried the 150mg again - 1 follicle is trying but still isn’t very big. So doctor put me on 200mg of Gonal for three days. I’m going back Friday to check to see if we’re good for the trigger shot and <a href="https://glowing.com/glow-fertility-program">IUI</a> Saturday. If this cycle fails we’ll be doing just injectables next month.
My question... has anyone else had a similar experience? Like... will 3 days of the medicine right before an <a href="https://glowing.com/glow-fertility-program">IUI</a> really do much to help? I talked to another doctor who said that he usually hopes to see at least 3-4 good follicles before an <a href="https://glowing.com/glow-fertility-program">IUI</a>/IVF! I’m barely making one!
I need positive stories about this medicine please and that I’m not just wasting my time and setting myself up for more heartbreak 😩
