Combined cycle Femara/gonal-f injections

Today I found out our iui was unsuccessful, we had done a round of Femara to prepare and yes I did ovulate. So now we are doing a combined cycle. I was just wondering if anyone has had any experience with that? And if you've had any success??

    This is our 2nd hybrid cycle with letrizole(Femara) and Gonal-F. Last month was unsuccessful but our lining was thin during trigger and we had one small,but mature, follicle. This month we ended up with 4 mature follies and two close behind! We triggered on Monday and now just waiting to see :) FX for your BFP let me know how the hybrid cycle works out for you.

    I have never done femara + gonal-f, but my friend who went through 3 failed clomid and 2 failed femara cycles ended up being successful with that route. FX for your BFP!

    *bfp mentionned*
    We did 3 femara only and TI cycle prior to my hysteroscopy/laparoscopy, all bfns despite 2-3 follies each time. We wanted to be more aggressive post-surgery, so the RE recommended 5mg of femara and 75IU of Follistim (quite similar to gonal-f). I was disappointed because my follies were growing slower and I only had one that was fully mature by the time my LH surged and I had my IUI. There were 2 more follies at 15mm the morning before the IUI. That cycle ended up being the one, despite only one mature follie. Good luck to you!

    **Loss mentioned **

    Just wanted to say good luck! I have done four rounds of femara and gonal f . 3 BFNS. 1 pregnancy but it was chemical :( I am encouraged though that it did work one of the times! Every time I have had really good responses with 2-3 follicles each time. Hope this works well for you!!

    My RE wants to do the same next cycle and do one more IUI since I told him IVF was not a route we were going to take.
