Injectables?

Hi ladies.

My RE suggested trying injectables this month.  I'm not sure how I feel about that as I'm already getting 3 good sized follies every month.  I'm also feeling like the continued Letrozole is making me more hormonal than normal. Obviously the stress of IF doesn't help but I don't want to feel even crazier. 

What side effects did you guys get from the injectables?  And what results did you see from them?

Thanks!

    I only get 1-2 follies with letrozole and on injectibles I had 6 mature but like 20 total and that was on a very low dose with close monitoring... You can always try it but if you are getting 3 you may get more than you bargain for... we went back to letrozole and I did get a bfp but ended in mc so I'm hoping this month will work on letrozole again... I have taken it about 5 times total prior to the bfp... so it might take the time I don't know...

    I am on my second month of injectibles.  I have 0 side effects.  Last month I was overstimulated and they canceled my cycle.  If you have follies, I would just make sure they put you on a lower dose.  They thought 125 was low for me and I overstimmed.  I am now on 100.

    It's worth a try!

    I get 2-3 mature follies on a low dose of 75 per day of injectables. I think since you already respond so well to other meds I would keep your dose low, or you are likely to over stim and have to cancel the cycle. Good luck!
