Well I just went through my first cycle of chlomid and IUIs. I was scheduled for my prego test today and it came back negative. Now what should I do? I can try the chlomid again or try the shots. What should I do??? Everything is so expensive...

    I'm sorry that your 1st IUI didn't work.  Are you seeing an Re?

    After my 1st negative IUI I waited for AF to arrive and then started clomid on cd 3-5 again.  My Re will have me do 3 clomid cycles, and then move onto injectables.

    I don't know the lingo. What is an Re?

    I am just so discouraged. We got pregnant 2 years ago and I miscarried. I got on birth control after that, but I have been off for a year now and still nothing...

     My doctor said that I can go straight to the injections if I want or I can try chlomid again...

    I just don't know what to do...

    It really depends on if you have a diagnosed issue or DH does and what your doc thinks is the best course of action. If you are seeing a reproductive endo. they would be guiding you in making this decision based on the follies you had at the time of IUI. Clomid did not produce enough matures follies for me and I hated the side effects so I moved to injectables as soon as possible and I was almost 33. I think that for many people their age helps them and their doc decide how aggressive to be. GL!

    Well I am only 25, but have been ready since my first pregnancy (and loss) two years ago.

    My husband and I both got checked and everything is fine with us. I had two follies at different stages last time...lining was 7.2...

     Did you get prego on the injections?

    Yes I did but I miscarried. We will be trying it again next cycle with an increased dose of the injectable med.

    I skipped clomid (and IUI)because I don't have any underlying ovulation issues that we are aware of and the success rates seemed so much lower. (Plus, I'm not a fan of just taking meds to try them out, although I know that many dr's give Clomid routinely as a first line treatment, and I have a good friend who tried on her own for over a year, took Clomid for one month (no IUI or anything) and got pregnant, so all things are possible!

    You will have to weigh the pros & cons of the money and the success rates as well as possible complications/side effects of the different kids of meds & see what choice is right for you. Your dr should provide you with the success rates for the oral meds & injectables specific to his/her practice.


    GL!

    I have a friend that did 3 Clomid cycles and number 3 was the charm.  Sorry about the BFN, I wish you better luck on the next round.

    If it is an option to go to injectables, I would do that. They are more expensive than clomid but seems to get better results. I have a choice to go with either and I am going to go right to the shots that way it is one less step before going to IVF. Luckily I have IF coverage or I might think of this differently.
