Trouble TTC

Baseline Update

We're up for Round 2 on the IUI train.

U/s showed all clear!  I was oddly worried about cysts this cycle.  3 vials of blood taken.

Plan is: Alternate Clomid starting tomorrow with 25/50/25/50/25 then 25IU of Follistim.  I'll go in for monitoring next Saturday and then hopefully IUIs Mon/Tues or Tues/Wed. 

I had 3 follies last time, so I'm not surprised they lowered my dosage a bit (just the Clomid).  I'm hoping for 2-3 follies again.

THANKFULLY, I DON'T have to spend $254 on another vial of Follistim!

  • Great, good luck!  Glad you get to reuse the Follistim vial.  In the future if you have to cycle again (I pray you don't). I'd ask your RE to switch to Bravelle.  Instead of a single vial of the 375(with the 75 overage), Bravelle comes as 5 separate vials of 75iu all in one box.  It will last you at least 5 months at those low dosages and be much more cost effective.  You'll only have to rehydrate one every cycle so it doesn't expire in 28 days like Follistim.  I hope this cycle works so you don't need to consider that, but just in case!
