It's fine to do Clomid or Femara instead of the injectibles. I just had the impression from your first post that you maybe weren't responding to the Clomid, but then when I reread the post I couldn't see why I had thought that any more (sorry!) So if you're ovulating on the Clomid then they will probably just continue you on either htat or Femara. Apologies for confusion.
No worries, Atomic. This is all so confusing to me. I was going to start an IUI round on my next cycle but I’m going away so it will interfere. I asked my RE if I could just take femera but he said no and to just take the clomid and do timed BD. I ovulated with clomid with confirmed blood tests but I never got pregnant so I know this fourth round won’t get me pregnant. I’m really not hopeful for IUI either. I don’t know what to do. I have to admit this is all getting so tiring but I just don’t have it in me to give up.
No, you don't know that. People get pregnant in the 4th, 5th, even 6th month on Clomid all the time. It just has to be the right sperm meeting the right egg.
Can you tell me if you're doing anything to sway at this point? May be something we can tweak.
I have oatmeal in AM with black tea, first snack is usually hard boiled eggs or 1/4 of an avocado. Lunch is half a sandwich with some greens (either salad or veggie) second snack is usually almonds or peanuts dinner is usually chicken with a veggie. Occasionally I’ll have some sushi (it’s my weakness). Always drink a lot of Essentia water and I exercise about 25 minutes 6 days a week. I take a prenatal, vitamin d 2000iu, omega 3’s 600mg, folic acid 1000mcg and a probiotic. From what I’ve read on this site I think it’s boy friendly.
All those things are great, are you guys doing anything like timing, baking soda, egg white, etc??
How many attempts? What is DH's frequency pattern like?
Anyone taking any herbs?
No egg whites or baking soda cause I’ve read you don’t approve of that anymore so I didn’t try it. As for the herbs, DH drinks camomile and occasionally green tea but he is also taking folic acid, men’s multi, vit d and probiotic and also exercising
With me.
Our BD timing has mostly been every few days from af and then when I’m in my fertile window it’s EOD and then 3-4 times at positive OPK. I have also been using the OvuSense monitor and it’s been pretty useful so far and confirmed ovulation for me. I will be taking Clomid 100mg during my next cycle from days 3-7 as per my RE.
Hang in there! I feel your pain, I’m right there with you. I did two rounds of clomid and ovulated but no pregnancy. I go back to the RE in February. It looks like you’re doing all the right things. Hoping for the best for you!
Thanks Honeybee! It helps that I know I’m not alone. What’s your story? How long have you been TTC?
