Can Clomid & Injectables be used simultaneously?

MrsM429

Good Morning!

I will be speaking with my RE about this next month at my consult, but am curious to know if this is possible. I have always had a response to the higher dose of clomid, but have never made more than 2 follicles. On injectables (Follistim specifically), I made multiple follicles, but only 1 matured. Since we are dealing with MIF, my RE would trigger me with no more than 5 mature follicles

I am questioning whether or not it would be productive if I took a low dose of clomid, in addition to a low dose of follistim, in the hopes of producing multiple mature follicles. My RE monitors me very closely (I have bw & sono every other day), so I know they will trigger me the second I have follicles that show they may become mature. Reason for my concern, is because last cycle I stimmed for 14 days and only produced 1 mature follicle. And because of the MIF, we would like to have more than just 1 or 2 chances of pregnancy.

Has anyone ever done this before? If not clomid, has anyone ever done Femera with Injectables?

Thanks!

My doctor is having me take Clomid, and then I will get a HCG trigger shot, and then do IUI.  So, it is a possibility!!

I've been on a weight loss break for a while, but the 3 cycles I did medicated I did Clomid, Follistim,and the Ovidrel trigger.  It is very common to use Clomid with injects.  Good Luck!

Thank you both for your responses. I am going to ask if this I can follow this protocol next cycle. Thankfully Clomid is covered under my insurance (the ONLY things that is), and I still have some follistim left over from last cycle that will get me through the next one.

Thanks again
