Trouble TTC

One more clomid cycle or move to injections?

Hello Everyone:
I'm sitting here waiting for my RE office to call back with my BETA results. I had two negative tests 11/12 DPO and some spotting 12DPO into the morning of 13DPO so I am very prepared for the BETA to come back negative. I spoke with the RE today and she said I could do one more round of clomid, or she was comfortable with us moving to injections. My issue is that I'm moving to a mountain community in late August so this is my last cycle with this RE so now I'm wondering if I should skip the clomid and try the injections. 

If you moved on to injections and you don't mine sharing, what was your reason? Any insight into injections would also be great. 

Thank you!

Me: 33, DH: 32

TTC: 2 years
Fertility blood tests all normal
Tilted uterus
3 day ultrasound 17 follicles
HSG: 11/13/13- tubes open
DH SA: SUPER sperm (145 million, 84% motility, 22% morphology)
All infection disease and immunity blood tests NORMAL

FIRST IUI May 2014: 100 mg Clomid days 5-9, third ultrasound CD 13 revealed four follicles 27, 24 and 20 and 13mm. Trigger shot May 28 with IUI May 29 and 30 (fingers crossed) - BFN started spotting 11DPO :(

IUI #2 B2B 6/23 and 6/24, three mature eggs and 130 million sperm! FX this is the month!  BFN 7/8

3rd cycle benched due to cysts - TI with OPK tests -  BFN

3rd mediated cycle: Clomid+Trigger+TI  (three follies left side, one on right as usual....what the hell right ovary get it together and produce some damn follicles!) 7DPO progesterone level 43 with NO suppositories YAY for a natural strong ovulation. Beta canceled started spotting 13DPO - Third time is not a CHARM! 14 day cycle WTF! Everything looks normal - RE wants to start injectables next cycle so this cycle I'm benched

Officially benched until March....but still plan on trying the baking soda douche due to my excessive and thick CM

JANUARY SIGGY CHALLENGE...This is so me!

Re: One more clomid cycle or move to injections?

  • I moved onto injects after 2 Clomid cycles because I wasn't having a very good response to Clomid. I was only getting one follicle each time, I was on the max dose, and the earliest I ever ovulated was CD 21.

    I think it looks like you're responding well to Clomid, so personally, I would stick with it for at least one more cycle. I would be worried about over-responding on injects if you are already having multiple mature follicles on Clomid. However, I think it's a personal decision. I don't think moving on would be crazy, it's just not what I would do. :-)

  • If you are responding well to Clomid, it's worth another cycle.

    **pg warning**






    I got pregnant with my daughter on round three of Clomid, and my mom got pregnant with 3 of her 4 kids after 3 round of Clomid...so there is hope if the first two don't work, IMO.
