I am curious to know on what meds, procedures, you were successful! ?I just finished round 3 of Clomid 50Mg and got a BFN. ?I am going back in to RE on Monday to discuss what is next and I have no idea what he is going to say! ?
Thanks ladies!?

I had 3 failed IUIs with Gonal F and 2 failed IVFs - different protocols. My 3rd IVF was the charm - estrogen priming antagonist protocol.
A lot of years and a million tears finally led me to you.
After 7 years trying to concieve, 3 failed IUIs and 2 failed IVFs, my third IVF was a success!
My Christmas baby turned into a turkey bird! Dillon Richard was born at 34 weeks, 5 days on November 28, 2009 after 10 weeks on bedrest for preeclampsia.

I tried Femara x 2 (first cycle with TI and second cycle was to have an IUI, but it was cancelled due to poor response), Clomid and IUI x 3 (BFN's) and Tamoxifen, Follistim and IUI x 1 (BFP). Good luck to you
TTC for 19 months. Dx: PCOS. 3 IUI's with Clomid= BFN 1st IUI with injectables= BFP
AFter 4 rounds of clomid, 2 m/c, and 2 failed IVF (one with PGD), I got pg with DS on metformin alone. I took lovenox/heparin with DS, which in my mind made a difference.
Married on 3.20.2004. It took 30 month, 2 failed adoptions and IVF for our first miracle. We have had 9 foster kids since he was born and started the domestic adoption process when he was 10 month old, we had 4 failed matches in that time. After our daughter was born we brought her home and spent 2 weeks fearing we might lose her because of complications that came up. But Praise God all went through and she is ours forever! Expecting again after IVF
Gonal F + trigger + dIUI. As I got close to my final try (would have been #11) I added accupuncture, baby aspirin, and every batsh!t crazy implanation superstition I'd ever heard about.
My partner likes to tell people it's because I "finally relaxed," but I contend it was more like resignation and "oh well, might as well just try anything."
Good luck with your TTC process. May it bring you a BFP soon.
2 rounds 50mg and 1 round 100mg Clomid (all BFN). All with my ob/gyn.
Started seeing RE - dx mild PCOS and started 1500mg of Met.
1 round 100mg Clomid (BFN) with estrace and progesterone.
Myomectomy surgery to remove uterine fibroids and a chocolate cyst. Had to take a 3 month break from ttc while I healed.
100mg Clomid - BFP that ended in a m/c at 8 weeks. I had a d&c and had to take a 3 month break from ttc.
First cycle with injectables (Menopur and Bravelle) was going to be an IUI #1 but had to convert to IVF#1 was a BFP that resulted in dd. I also used Lupron, Ganirelix, PIO, HCG trigger shot (2X), Met, Estrace, Folgard, and progesterone suppositories.
Good luck at your appointment. Hopefully your doctor will have a plan that will give you a BFP soon!

Thank you, thank you for responding. ?It's so overwhelming. ?I have a lot of research to do before the appointment on Monday. ?I hate to go in there without any prior knowledge and wish I knew what direction he wants to go in.
?I am so glad there is a spot to ask women who understand and have gone through this journey and have experienced the pain. ?Since I know no one IRL who has experience this, it can be pretty difficult. ?Congratulations on your successes and I hope to be here soon!

Our second cycle with the combo of baby aspirin, metformin, 5 mg Femara CD 3-7, 37.5 iu Gonal-F CD 9-12, HCG trigger, and B2B IUI about 12 and 36 hours post-trigger was the winner! I also did 200 mg progesterone supps twice a day until about 10w pregnant, then I took 100 mg progesterone orally twice a day until I cleared the first tri.
After 20 months TTC with PCOS, we were blessed with twins!
They arrived at 36 weeks after PTL and bedrest for 14 weeks.
Re: what finally got you your BFP??
DD - metformin (1500 mg daily)
DS - not sure. Was in medical study using acupuncture, but not sure if I was really getting 'real' treatment or not.
FET #2
3 estrace pills per day (2 orally, 1 vaginally)
PIO (2cc a day)
baby aspirin
After 2 rounds of IVF & 2 rounds of FET, we were blessed with identical twin girls!

Clomid M/C 8 weeks 2/08 *IVF #1-DD born 3/09
*Surprise BFP-T18 baby lost at 13w 1/10 *FET #1-DS born 2/11
I've had several BFPs but this one (that I hope is FINALLY our sticky one) was with FET #2.
5 rounds of clomid+ovidrel (2 with TI, 3 with IUI) = BFNx5
IVF#1 w/ ICSI = BFP
Because we're fancy like that.
LO #1 - 1 unmedicated/self-monitored IUI w/ donor sperm.
LO #2 - 1 m/c, 2 BFNs, 4th IUI worked (unmedicated/self-monitored with new donor sperm).

Femara plus IUI...Clomid did nothing for me but make me a big old grouch...
Good luck!
