clomid and repronex

[ttchopeful]

My dh and I are trying to conceive. I have had two early miscarriages the last one being a year ago. I ovulate on my own based on my progesterone level. 5-6dpo was 11.7 last cycle. LMP is 10/19/07 My doctor put me on 100mg clomid days 5-9 and 150iu of Repronex on day 10 which I am supposed to inject im. I go in for u/s and b/w on Nov.2rd which is day 15 for me. What are the chances and risks of the combination of these two meds? I know with clomid there is only a 5-10% risk of multiples but with Repronex there is closer to a 50-50 shot of multiples. I am just praying to conceive one but am ready for more if I am blessed with it. I am looking to see who has done this combination of meds and what success rates people have actually had. If you need any background information to help just let me know. I will answer any questions you have if you can give me any indication as to how hopeful I can be that this cycle will be successful.

Thank you both for your comments and baby dust to everyone that needs it! I guess I am just confused as to why he would go with ovulation induction meds when I do ovulate fairly well on my own. I only have my right ovary and tube. I have PCOS and Endo and am at high risk for ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome. Had a moderate case when on clomid before and ended up in a hospitalization. I am hoping that the combination will help me get pregnant and stay pregnant but am unsure if it will. I go in next friday to see how many follies I have but am worried that I may ovulate before the u/s. *sigh* I worry too much I think. lol

I don't know about Repronex but I can say clomid was successful for me. We conceived our son after only 3 months on clomid. We tried for 5 months this year with no luck on clomid. If the combo works for you please let us know. Good luck!!!

First of all, I want to wish you the best of luck this cycle.  I never took Repronex so I am definitely not an expert.  However, I do teach statistics  :)  So, with clomid chances of multiples are 5-10% of all deliveries.  However, most people who take clomid do not achieve pregnancy; success (i.e. getting pregnant per cycle) is also about 10% per cycle.  So probability of multiples is at most 1% for all women who take clomid.  I am sure that similar statistics apply to Repronex.  Even if 50% of pregnancies are multiples, what is the probability of achieving pregnancy to begin with?  As I said, i am not an expert and had no success with clomid.  If Repronex increases your chances of getting pregnant you should go for it and don't worry about multiples.  SSBD!
