Hello! I'm a regular on TTGP and 3T... If this forum is inappropriate for me just let me know and I can take this question elsewhere.
I was just wondering if anyone here had success using follistim plus femara with IUI. I know everyone's different, and most of you have probably done IVF (I think, anyway). I've done 3 rounds with Clomid and haven't had success. My doctor is switching my meds to see if that helps. She doesn't think IVF is appropriate for me just yet so she wanted to try hybrid injectables and femara.
Did this change help you in your journey? Thank you all, and congrats on your pregnancies!

Thanks @1983lindsey! That is reassuring. My RE said I respond well to Clomid but something about it is not working. Hopefully this makes all the difference Waiting for AF right now before I can move forward... I'll probably start my period late next week.
Yeah, Follistim kind of makes me nervous because I heard that's what Kate Gosselin used and got pregnant with 6 babies. I completely understand how rare that is but still... I'm nervous enough about getting triplets, let alone 6 lol! I'm sure a lot's changed in the past decade.
ETA: I hope that doesn't scare anyone!!! It's obviously really uncommon or else we'd be hearing about more sextuplets out there...
Thanks @IntuitiveBlue! That's good to hear. I don't mind risking twins. Triplets or higher though... kinda scary. My RE's office wouldn't let me cycle if I overstimulated so I should be okay I'm hoping the Follistim will be at low enough doses that I won't really have a problem.
Good luck at your ultrasound today! I'll be lurking here to see how it goes!
GL to you! Hope to see you switch over here soon! *hugs*
