Anyone done or doing Clomid/ovidrel/IUI?

[Snowdog37]

Would love to hear from anyone taking this route ttc. I'm DOR and dh has low morphology but an amazing count and motility. So whenever af shows up in two weeks or so I'm starting Clomid, then doing a hcg trigger injection and then IUI. Hoping for success getting 2-3 good eggs to drop and putting the swimmers practically next to them!

They took a nice big vial of blood, so now the waiting begins!

Hi Star, I got a positive on the ovulation tests and then I had the Day 21 blood test and it was a very high reading so the doctor was happy I ovulated.

I'm hoping the change in taking it from days 5-9 to days 3-7 may bring ovulation forward a little.

Negative. Blah. I'm going to bury my sorrows in Icecream. 😝

On to cycle 2 once af shows up.

So sorry snow plenty of for you. Will they do the same next cycle or increase dose of anything?

Same thing next cycle as I responded well enough for them. Apparently I will probably have more mature follies next time as my ovaries will be more primed. Or some such thing. Second times the charm. Lol.

So sorry snow, really thought this could be it for you. Good luck with cycle 2, I have my fingers crossed.

I'm currently 9dpo with no symptoms so not feeling hopeful at all. Period due next Wednesday but my usual cycle length takes me to sat so if I get that far, I'll test then.

Hope everyone else is doing well.

Ah sorry Snow, here's to cycle two.. 😊

Welcome mrsunsure, sorry you find yourself here. It's awful long term ttc isn't it. I've been going about 19 months now and get so sad some days it's unreal.

What cd are you? I'm 10dpo on my first Clomid+trigger cycle and feeling my usual premenstrual full boobs. No other symptoms all cycle except a really big right ovary on ov day! Not feeling hopeful at all. Had two follicles day before trigger at 19mm and 15mm so one possibly two eggs.

sorry for your loss mrs that's a cruel addition in this rotten journey

Sorry Snow I hope af turns up soon so you can start your next cycle.

How are you feeling Star? Fx for Wednesday.

Welcome Mrs and sorry about your miscarriage. Hopefully the progesterone will work this month.

Maple did your spotting turn into AF?

Hello to everyone else - I hope you all had a lovely weekend!

Genghis it hasn't yet but will as my temps have been dropping. Second month I've been spotting for so long so definitely going to ask about it at my appointment next Friday.

Star some people have the same symptoms as AF so you're still in with a chance - fingers crossed for Wednesday!

Waves to Mrs who I know from another thread

I have my second acupuncture session tonight. Now that I'm used to the weird tugging sensation hopefully I will be more relaxed about it!

Af showed up late and I'm starting the Clomid again today. Let's hope this cycle is successful.
Welcome mum 💐

Hi Genghis, how are you feeling? You must be about to start gonal f now surely? How's it going?

Maple, how was acupuncture? Second time better?

Mrs, I'm sorry I have no experience with progesterone. Clomid is the first actual drug I've taken from if you don't count all the bloody supplements. Hope it does the trick for you.

Sorry your period arrived snow. Good luck with round 2!

I'll be onto round two myself soon I'm sure of it. 13dpo and due today or tomorrow and I can't think about anything else! Seriously I keep reading mumsnet at work and not doing my actual job as though that might help the time go quicker. I predict period will arrive tonight. Symptom-wise I feel exactly the same as every other cycle, so def not pregnant but I know I'll still be gutted when it arrives.

Julia, broody, how are you guys doing?

Acupuncture was much better second time actually star! I felt more relaxed. Only problem is the walls are quite thin and I think it's her house so her kids are there and I can hear them playing etc... Wish it was more quiet!

Hoping AF stays away for you! I was excited today because (tmi!) I actually used the regular tampons (not light) and even needed to change it every 4 hours! Unheard of! Wondering if it was the acupuncture yesterday or Pom juice I was drinking earlier in my cycle!

I'm on my second Clomid cycle. Taking 100mg on days 3-7, then I'll have another ultrasound on day 10 to see what follicular action I have going on. Hoping for more than the 1-2 I had last month!
I'm not on progesterone, and I am trying to lose weight as I don't think the extra 3 or 4 stone I'm carting around is helping.
The Clomid hasn't really given me too many side effects. Emotional and a bit impatient really. I did have a small cyst this month from last months cycle but they said its small and it won't affect this cycle.
I've had two baby bombs this week. It's beginning to wear on me, having to be all excited and happy for them. Inside I'm wailing as I can't believe yet another month has gone by and I'm not pregnant yet. And then I feel selfish and guilty. Ugh.
Maple, I loved the acupuncture too. Can't afford it this month as I bought a piece of artwork for very nearly silly money. Dh wasn't impressed. Oh well, it's my reward for going through all this!

Mrs I'm not on clomid yet (hopefully get the prescription on 1st when I see the fertility nurse) but will let you know if I suffer any side affects...

Snow hope you get some more follies this time! I totally know how you feel re baby bombs - had one today from my friend - her wife got donor sperm and worked first time (not sure if it's IUI or home insemination) but I felt rotten and almost burst out crying on the train. Managed a congratulations message and not looked at the whatsapp group since.

Sorry about the baby bombs Snow, and don't feel bad about how you're feeling. They are hard, and having to pretend to by happy is tough.

I'm glad your acupuncture went well Maple though that is unfortunate about the noise. And hooray for heavier AF (though sorry she actually turned up).

Mrs I'm afraid I've never taken progesterone so no experience. But I hope that it will reduce the spotting, and not give you any side effects. How many cycles has your dr prescribed the clomid for?

Star I really hope AF stays away. I can imagine how you can't think of anything else - I'd probably be going to the toilet all the time to check my knickers!

I have my first injection tomorrow. The doctor has prescribed for me to have a nurse do them all since it's my first time but I think I'll just get her to do the first two, and do the rest myself. I can't believe I'm finally going to start!

Good luck for injections today genghis! Didn't know you could get a prescription for a nurse!! Woohoo to finally starting!

Yeay Genghis for getting going! Very best of luck.

As for me, period turned up this morning right on cue. Back on Clomid tmrw so im right behind you Genghis and Snow. Going to try and chill out a bit more this cycle and concentrate on other things - can't take this emotional rollercoaster.
