Hello/Any luck with injections?

in Infertility
Hello,
My name is Sami, and I am new to this board.  I have been trying to conceive for about a year and during that time I have tried 3 IUI with clomid but each cycle was a BFN.  I start Injections with IUI this month, and I am so nervous and worried that it won't work.  I was initially diagnosed with anovulation and mild endometriosis, and my endo thought I would be pregnant very soon.  Fail.  Has anyone else ovulated with Clomid and each time got a BFN but then tried injections and got a BFP.  I am starting to feel more hopeless and thinking there must be something else wrong with me besides my initial diagnosis if I didn't get pregnant while ovululating and on IUI with clomid.

Thanks for any thoughts!

    I did two IUIs with clomid and injectables (no problems ovulating), but both were BFNs.

    I would really check the PAIF/SAIF boards if you are looking for success stories as most of the women here are still struggling with infertility. Also, you may want to check out the Trouble Trying to Conceive board. I know a lot of the women are going through IUIs there (most of us here have moved on to IVF). 

    Hope you get some positive answers!

    BFP MENTIONED!!!   I tried Clomid/IUI without success then moved onto injections of Follistim/IUI.  I had BFP with the follistim/IUI.

    *loss mentioned*

    I tried four rounds of Clomid, all BFN (and really, I had like zero response to Clomid anyway so I wasn't surprised).  We moved to injections but not IUI - we did IVF.  I know this isn't the exact response you were looking for, as I think you were asking about injections with IUI.  But I did have a great response to the injections and got a BFP.  I did lose my boys at 22.5 weeks, but regardless - the injections worked wonders on my very non-responsive ovaries.
