How Many Rounds of Ovidrel?

Hi all!

I had my first Ovidrel injection, followed by timed intercourse 15 days ago, and like clockwork, 14 DPO, I got my period today. Of course I was hoping for a BFP this first cycle, but realistically, I'm actually looking at this as the silver lining, since I have PCOS, and this is the first period I've had since September 2014, when I stopped taking the Pill. At least I know I'm capable of ovulating, even though its with extra help! 

I spoke with my RE's nurse this morning, and this cycle I'll again be doing the exact same plan of 7.5 mg of Letrozole starting CD3, with an ultrasound on CD11, and then hopefully another Ovidrel injection (provided I have some mature follies on US). 

My question is, has anyone else done multiple rounds of Ovidrel before achieving a BFP? I know usually its recommended only doing 3 cycles before moving onto something more aggressive, and I'm really hoping not to to have to move to the big guns! (IUI or IVF).

    Ovidrel is the trigger shot to make you release follies.  I am new to the infertility world, but pretty sure you will pretty much have those even with IUI (could be a different brand, but all HCG).  It's so they can time your IUI knowing you will ovulate within x time.  You will also likely trigger with IVF before the egg retrieval.

    I have done 5 iui's so far, on my 6th right now. The first 3 iui's I took clomid, and these last 3 we added the fsh injections and the ovidrel trigger shot.
    Good luck to you!

    I'm doing my 4 iui this month with ovidrel twice (once before and after ovulation to help lengthen my luteal phase). My other 3 cycles were with clomid and ovidrel. This month I was switched to femara and 2 ovidrel injections...
