Has anyone done this? I know there are a MILLION different possibilities -- I am waiting for a response from my nurse.
I am just curious as to what your protocol was for IUI's.
My RE switched me to an all injectable protocol for our finaly IUI in December and my nurse clairified that I wont be on the same meds should we go the IVF route that I will be on different meds, which is what I thought. I am just trying to see how much this is going to cost come time.
TIA!

Re: All injectable IUI protocol??
~Life After Infertility~
I'm not sure this is what you're asking, but Follistim + trigger is all I'm using for this IUI, with progesterone supps to follow.
I've been on Follistim for 11 days, the first 4 days at 150iu, then the next 4 at 225iu, and the last 3 back at 150iu.
Good luck!
IUIs : Follistim pen (225iu/day), Ovidrel trigger, progesterone supps
IVFs : Gonal-f vials(6-8/day), Menopur vials (2/day), Ganirellix (1/day), Novarel trigger, progesterone supps
5 REs + 3 surgical hysteroscopies for septum/lap + 3 failed IUIs
IVF w/ICSI/AH & acu = BFP!, unexplained spontaneous m/c @ 8w2d (our little girl),
FET w/acu = BFP!, B/G twins!, lost MP @19w, dx w/funneling cervix @20w,
twins nearly lost to IC @21w, saved by rescue cerclage, 17P & 16w of bedrest
Our twins born @36w4d via CS when A came foot first
Thankful for every day
for the first 3 i was on clomid, bravelle and ovidrel trigger...my nurse said he is looking for something more...maybe switching out the clomid for something else...we shall see.
Thanks for the responses...
Edwina -- no doses just let....we will be doing our IUI in December.

I did an IUI injectable cycle, with 175IU follistim + ovidrel shot. I think I stimmed for 8 days and ended up with 4 follies.
Follistim is uber-expensive OOP. It runs about $1.50/IU. So, 175IU costs $262.50.
Started TTC 05.08
Me: Stage II endo, borderline high FSH
DH: perfect
1 lap, 5 IUIs = 4 BFNs and 1 c/p
2 IVFs, 2 FETs = 1 BFN, 1 c/p, 1 ectopic and finally a sticky BFP in May 2011!
1 FET in Aug 2013 = BFP!
After 2+ years and multiple treatment cycles,
including an IVF vacation in Costa Rica/Panama,
IVF #2 brought us our miracle baby!
Surprise! Baby Boy is on the way!
I just triggered last night for our all injectable IUI after stimming for 8 days. I have been on Follistim (varying dosages from 75 - 150 iu), Menopur (varying dosages from 1 to 2 powders), Ganarelix (for only 3 days to suppress ovulation) and then I triggered last night with Ovidrel.
We're OOP for the meds and I paid $250 for 300iu of Follistim. Also there is a coupon the pharmacy used for a free 300iu of Follistim. Menopur was $340 for each box of 5 vials. Ovidrel was $50 and I'd have to look up the price of the Ganarelix when I get home tonight.
11/2010 IUI #1: BFN, 12/2010 IUI #2: BFN, 01/2011 IUI #3: BFN, 05/2011 IUI #4: BFN
Taking a break this summer then moving on to IVF
9/2011 Surprise natural BFP during TTC break
10/2011 No heartbeat found during 3rd u/s @ 8w4d
