WDYT? Really slow or ok pace?
I've been seeing my RE for 13 months now. In these 13 months, I've only done 5 rounds of clomid. My first 2 rds where annovulary, then the last 3 have been O with pregs and then m/c (first 2 m/c's 5 weeks, then last one 8 weeks). I realize that because of the pregs and m/c that it does slow things down a bit because you have to wait a cycle in between. For me it's a 35 day wait, and then start provera, so it's usually CD 46-49 before AF. Even in the first two with no O, they would still make me wait until CD 35 before calling them to tell them no AF.
I'm not sure what we will do next cycle...maybe a 6th rd of clomid?? Maybe injectables?
Do you think this has been really slow or right on track? Sometimes I feel like this is taking FOREVER. I've only O'd 3 times in 1 year.
WWYD? 6th rd clomid, or discuss injectables?
BTW, last cycle I took 200mg clomid, 2mg dexamethasone, metformin, baby aspirin, prometrium, and ovidrel trigger.
Re: WDYT? Really slow or ok pace?
After two losses, third time was a charm.
pm me for blog link
Umm...yes and no.
All blood clotting labs came back fine so no blood clotting disorder. HSG was all clear with no uterine abnormalities. Still waiting on chromosone test....
First I wanted to say that I'm so sorry for your losses.
I think the pace sounds right considering the fact that you have to wait between cycles after a m/c, but I would question doing another Clomid cycle. My RE won't do more than three cycles on Clomid. It might be time to talk about trying another treatment. Good luck!
Unexplained Infertility
After two Clomid cycles, three injectable IUI cycles, two IVFs, two miscarriages, and one lap surgery, IVF #2 has brought us our little boy!
TTC #2
After months of being postponed or cancelled, FET #1.3 (Natural FET) brought us twin girls!
I'm so sorry for your losses. I, too, have had repeated miscarriages. Hopefully you'll get your b/w back soon for your chromosomal testing and that everything is normal. I think it does sound like you're on track since you are forced to take a break with the pg losses. I can understand why it feels like it's taking forever, though.
If I remember correctly, my RE only recommends 3-4 cycles of Clomid and then advises to move onto injectables. I know I did 3 cycles of Clomid/IUI and got a BFP with my 3rd Clomid/IUI, but that ended in a blighted ovum. After my 3rd cycle of Clomid/IUI, I just felt like I was ready to be more aggressive at that point so we moved to injectables/IUI. Plus, the Clomid made me horribly irritable and gave me intolerable hot flashes/night sweats. GL with whatever you decide!
I did all 6 rounds of clomid and unfortunately no BFP. Now that I look back I wish I would have been more vocal and told my RE no more clomid!!! It was horrible for my lining. For me I look at it as such a waste. I don't think it would hurt to talk to your doctor about moving on to injectables.
Good luck with your decision!
