64 days on Gonal F, has anyone else stimmed this long?

I’ve been in Gonal F. For 64 days now
I’m doing ovulation induction with timed intercourse (not ivf)
We are trying to get only 1-2 eggs to grow

I stared on 50 now I’m up at 200 and still nothing, my E2 is only 196

Has anyone been on it this long, I’m really struggling 😢

SIXTY-FOUR DAYS?! Non-stop? Blimey.

From what I can see, the info leaflet says "If your doctor cannot see a desired response after 4 weeks, that treatment cycle with GONAL-f should
be stopped." So in your position, I'd be asking why they wanted to do something other than this, and what the plan is going forwards because frankly this plan does not appear to be working.

They just keep saying they have had people on it for over 100 days before and it worked first time for them
I’ve never come across anyone on any of the forums who have taken it longer than 21 days
I want to trust them but I’m getting really upset and frustrated that they aren’t taking my concerns seriously
Im NHS so cant change clinic 😢

You can’t compare what you’re doing with Ivf stimming really. The doses will be really low, practically clomid level, for timed intercourse. Just follow your doctor’s advice and maybe ask about the IVF route as that can often bring more success.
