frustrated and in need of advice **Updated**

in Trouble TTC

So I called my RE this morning to schedule my baseline appt and they said I can't do injectables because apparently I have to schedule a follow up appt and have all my meds on hand first. They didn't tell me any of this when we were talking about doing injectibles next. So they said I have to do another round of Clomid, which clearly doesn't work well on me. Should I just ask to go on bcps for a couple weeks while I get the injectables in order rather than waste my money on a Clomid cycle that won't work? Sorry, mobile bumping.

 **Update**  Thank you all for your advice.  At my appointment this morning I told the nurse that did my u/s that I was not interested in wasting my money on another Clomid round.  I asked about Femara and she talked to the Dr. and he agreed to switch me to Femara for this cycle.  I am starting at 7.5mg tomorrow which is CD3 and my u/s is the 25th which is CD12.  I also have an appointment to talk about doing injectibles if the Femara doesn't work.  Hopefully the Femara does the trick and I won't have to do the injectibles after all! 

At our very first appointment at this RE he had given us the option of doing Femara or Clomid and I chose Clomid because my mom actually got pregnant with me using Clomid so I figured if it worked for her I would give it a try.  I thought it was kindof an either/or thing though.  I am glad I am able to switch from one to the other. 

Thanks again ladies!

    I'm sorry that they didn't let you know about a follow up appointment. Is Femara an option to try for a cycle? I know it's hard to have to sit out a cycle and I hope you can come up with something!

    Good luck with your appointment today! PPs have given all the good suggestions.

    Does your pharmacy not use overnight delivery? When we first started injectibles, I went in on CD 3 for baseline, watched the video on how to give myself the shots,

    TTC #1 since May 2006 - We thought we were done in 2010, but we are back again!
    PCOS (anovulatory and amenorrhea) and hypothyroid.
    Currently taking Metformin 1500 MG and Synthroid.
    Prior HSG and DH SAs were clear.
    Feb 2013 - Switched clinics/RE and starting from the beginning again with some modifications.
    Current status: CD 3 appointment showed lining was too thick (11.5 mm). Endometrial biopsy scheduled for CD 11. Next steps will be based on results.
