Infertility

Oops- I messed up my meds, help!!!

for last month's IUI, I was on 100 mg clomid (2 pills) and 5 mg Femara (2 pills) on days 3-7. Plus 150 gonal f on day 9 but that's not an issue. I had 3 good follies. 
This month, for my second IUI, I thought it was the same and that's what I've been taking (I'm now on day 6) and I realize he prescribed 7.5 of Femara (3 pills). Oops. 
so for days 3,4,5 I only took 2 but 6,7 I'll take 3. How much am I missing out on do you think? Since I responded well last month, I assumed everything would stay the same. I wouldn't figure he'd want 4 follies, unless femara efficacy decreases fast? 
And today I'm totally exhausted so boo that's back.

    I personally think you will be fine, especially since you can take the larger dose for the next three days. Call your clinic to tell them about the mix up.

  • Ditto. Call the clinic - or let them know at your next u/s if it's soon. But I wouldn't worry. You had a great response last time (and my RE always says response to the same IUI meds can vary +/- 1 each cycle).

    Me- 39 (turning 40 in April), TTC for the first time ever (since Jan 2015), low ovarian reserve
    Married 3/14/14 to my wonderful wife, but her sperm count is rather low
    TTC with frozen donor sperm and science

    7 IUIs, 7 BFNs.
    2 IVF attempts, both cancelled and converted to IUI, both BFNs.
    Decided that my tired old ovaries are ready to retire.
    Next step- reciprocal IVF, using my wife's eggs, my uterus!  
    fresh 5 day transfer (2 embryos) 4/17/17- BFP! 
    Identical twins "due" 1/2/17 (but anticipated arrival sometime December)

  • Thanks all. My doc's called me back. He said not a big deal and we'll see how it all works out at US next week. Hopefully my ovaries cooperate :)
