Can you help me with stupid med question

So all our meds arrived.  Clinic orders them, they arrive in the mail, then on CD3 when I go in for bloodwork they give me a calendar.  I just have a question until then.  I see I have both clomid and bravelle.  Am I right that they will only have me doing one or the other and not both?  And Ovidrel is the trigger shot?  Thanks for helping me get my head in this game before Thursday.

    You can do Bravelle kind of in conjunction with clomid, that sound as though what might be going on. It kind gives your follies a boost.

    Ovidrel is a trigger, yes. 

    A lot of years and a million tears finally led me to you.

    On two of my IUI's I took Bravelle and Clomid together.  like PP said that sounds like that is the plan, GL.

    Bravelle is a purified mix of FSH and LH.  Whereas clomid works on your brain to tell your body to stimulate the ovaries, bravelle will work directly on your ovaries to help them mature eggs.  This should also boost your estradiol level, which will help with your CM and lining.  Bravelle is an injectable med.  The ovidrel is hCG, and will trigger ovulation.

    HTH!
