Trouble TTC

newbie non-responder

Hi there,

This is my first post. Has anyone else had trouble responding to clomid? im feeling so frustrated and confused. my first cycle i got 1follie (19) andthis cycle so far i have not responded to both clomid and follistim so we are trying 2 more days of clomid and hoping that it lights a fire and they start growing. i had alot of 8mm and 1 10mm. They call me pcos apperant?!? anyways just hoping to get advice and maybe some support as im new to this whole thing.

    I don't have any advice but just want to say you are not alone. I haven't responded to clomid. Currently I'm on a break with the understanding I'll move onto injects next. It is very frustrating. IF sucks!

    TTC #1 Since 7/2011

    Me: 30, PCOS with anovulation
    DH: 38, Low Morph & DE
    Rx: Metformin 500mg

    Cycle #1: Clomid 100mg + Ovidrel = No Response, Canceled
    Cycle #2: Clomid 150mg + Ovidrel = No Response, Canceled
    Cycle #3: Clomid 150mg + Follistim + Ovidrel = No response, Canceled

    Cycle #4: Femara 7.5mg + Gonal-f + Ovidrel + IUI = BFP!!!!

    Also, I'm mobile bumping do you have a diagnosis? PCOSers from my understanding, sometimes don't respond to clomid.

  • I don't have a PCOS diagnosis, but I didn't respond to Clomid so my RE moved me to injectibles after the first cycle.  But I am 35 and in bit of a rush ;)

  • I respond very slowly to clomid and have only ever had one mature follicle at a time. I am moving on to injectibles next cycle if this one doesn't work.

  • thank you everyone. if feels good to have support like this and not feel alone. I go in Monday to see if any follies have grown. I'm not sure what the next option will be for me. I'm.thinking if this doesn't work I want to move to.injectables. I have pcos apprrant overies but that is the only symptom I have of pcos. the u/s tech is convinced that our generation is affected by BPA. I guess it can mimic estrogen in the body. don't quote me on that. Lol
