Ovulation Induction
Has anyone ever been through ovulation induction with clomid plus gonal-f and a trigger injection as the combined medication/treatment method? I am particularly interested in whether it worked with timed intercourse versus IUI, how many mature eggs you were able to produce and if it resulted in a successful pregnancy. Getting ready to start this regime and would like to hear from others who have this experience...
I used Clomid and Follistim (same as gonal-f) plus trigger for 2 out of 4 IUIs that I did (all failed). I always had an issue with producing too many follicles, so my dr. eventually dropped Clomid and kept me on Follistim only with trigger and IUI, but that didn't work either. I eventually had to resort to an IVF as I was constantly at a risk of conceiving higher order multiples (I would produce as many as 9+ follicles during my IUIs!) and it finally worked! It is really going to depend on how you respond to those meds. Best of luck :)
I'm kind of close to your regimen I was taking tamoxifen then follistim, triggered with ovidrel and then IUI. we did that for four rounds without success the most follicles I had was two. This round I did just follistim (fsh) for 12 days then I triggered with pregnyl instead of ovidrel and IUI, I'm currently in the tww so hopefully in 9 days I can be another success story :). you didn't say which trigger your using but just so you know My doc had me do 4 rounds of ovidrel (synthetic hcg) and then he said a new study can out that said it only delivered half the dose of real hcg that's why i'm on pregnyl this cycle. good luck I hope it works for both of us!
hi I am just starting on clomid and meformin to trigger ovulation. I was diagnosed with PCOS. and my ovaries are blocked.... so im in the same boat u r . I am brand new to alll of this and is on an info overload.. here ... so anyway good luck to u and hope everything works out... lots of baby dust!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
