Anyone have experience with these? I hope to not get to this point, but it appears this is the route my RE wants to go so I am trying to see if it is something I want to consider or not.

20% is what I was told. Course he was quick to add that would be less with my age (38). Lol

I have (had?) hypothalamic amenorrhea and did two cycles of injectables (both BFN) for me it was gruelling because I was slow to respond and due to the risk of over stimulation (we were aiming for 1-3 mature follicles) I had a LOT of scans. It took over 40 days of injections to achieve 1 follicle! That said I have followed lots of other cycles and we do tend to be very conservative with dosage here in the UK. If my dr had upped the dose sooner it would have been a different story. I've seen plenty of girls stim for 10 days or so and have a better response. PM me if I can help further!

Did you do injectables with timed intercourse or iui?

haha not quite!!! older = more twins on and off fertility meds. I guess the implication is the eggs may be bummers???

Just timed intercourse. This being the NHS (and we didn't have any MF issues) they refused to allow me to do iui for cost reasons. It would have upped the success rate slightly. We actually begged to do iui the second time because my husband was making himself ill with the pressure of having to perform but still no dice.
