Trouble TTC

IF treatment q's

So I begin my first day of clomid tomorrow, and will be on it for 5 days. On CD9, ill give myself an injection of Gonal F. On CD 12 Doc will check my follies and eggs to make sure they're the appropriate size, if so, ill be given an injection of Ovidrel and then IUI. I don't know too much about this regimen of treatment, if any ladies have experience and could shed a little insight as to what to expect, good or bad. Any info will be appreciated.

Re: IF treatment q's

  • Sounds almost just like the treatment cycle I am on, except I am on Femara instead of Clomid. I've never done an injects cycle before, so I have no experience or advice for you.

    Good luck tho!

  • I mentioned that I did a clomid cycle in your last post the other day when you asked.  As for the ups and downs side effect wise?  Well, injects give me no side effect what so ever except for growing follies (and sometimes a little achy pain from the growth) so anyone on a clomid cycle can speak to the side effects of clomid.  

    For some, they get no side effect.  But for many the side effects are common and fairly mild or easy to deal with.  Headaches (I'd get them but they're the kind that easily go away with Tylenol).  Hot flashes, but mine were always mild.  Moody, personally I never noticed much of this.  Best advice from others that many agree with is take the clomid at night and you can sleep through most of the side effects.

  • I've done two cycles with 100mg of clomid. I got a few headaches and night sweats. The moodiness was off the charts last cycle. I take it at night, which helped to sleep off the side effects. Honestly, the clomid side effects were not too bad compared to the Ovidrel (I experience nausea and more moodiness) and the bloating and cramping related to ovulation.
