@SkilledSailor My first cycle on Clomid we did 100mg and I produced 5 mature follicles on my left side so my second cycle we tried 50mg and I produced 3 mature follicles on my left side. My third cycle we alternated between 50/100 and I produced 2 mature follicles on my right side so my RE wanted to alternate 100/50 to see if we can get my right side to ovulate again. He didn’t really have an explanation, just said that’s what worked last time so we are trying it again but more days at a high dosage.
BFN again for me and it looks like I'm spotting so AF is probably on the way. Good luck to the rest of you! I think I'm going to take a little bump break. Mentally, emotionally, physically, and financially this is been a tolling process.

I'm so sorry, @dmo1371 I was really hoping for better news for you this cycle. Sometimes a break is definitely needed to recharge and refocus. I sincerely hope that 2018 brings you (well, both of us!) a take home baby to love on. Hope you are able to enjoy the holidays with your family

@dmo1371 I’m so sorry ☹️ I wish there were better words to provide comfort. I hope you take the time and space you need to heal and figure out next steps.
@alex_4 That is a really interesting protocol. I hope it does the trick for you!!
** TW- beta results**
I actually ended up going in for my 1st beta on Thursday because I realized with our holiday travel plans, if I had it drawn on Saturday I wouldnt be around for a second draw. It turns out my clinic only does a second beta if your first is under 100, which I thought was interesting since I thought the whole idea of 2 betas was that the rise in number was more important that the number itself. Anyways, my first beta was 80 so I did have to get redrawn today and after traveling to 3 different labs due to them all being closed due to bad weather, I just got the call that it rose to 244!!! I’m so relieved but will now be a nervous wreck for the next 12 weeks. I will still be around cheering for everyone else this month!!
@do114 wow that is so incredible! So happy for you and I hope your #s continue to soar!
My wife and I have conceived a babe with my body and frozen donor sperm through IUI, with medication support (clomid, ovidrel, and injections of progesterone) IUI #1, #2, and #3: Dec 2017, Jan 2018, and Feb 2018 - all BFN HSG Test: April 2018 - all clear! IUI #4: April 15/16, 2018 - BFP!! EDD: Jan 7, 2019
Update: I got a positive OPK last night so I had my midcycle scan this morning. I have 2 mature follicles and 1 almost mature follicles on my RIGHT side! None on my left which is great news, my husband just dropped his sample off at the doctor for prep and I go back for my IUI in a couple hours.
I had my first two IUI cycles last Wed! So here I am 9 days post IUI and finding it rrrrreally hard not to symptom spot at this point!
