Need advice ttc girl and fsh injections

I went back to have a scan a Friday, and there was no sign that anything had happened in the 2 weeks prior or any wing of anything happening soon, so the decision was made to bring this cycle to an end. I was give some to take twice an day for 5 days, which I finished yesterday, now I'm waiting for af to arrive.
I have to have a baseline scan while af is visiting. Once that is done I will be reciving fsh injections called gonal f 450 and will be recieving the lowest dose to start with. And the trigger shot to make me release the egg/s. We will probably be looking to do our 1st attempt in about 15days. Hopefully this is it now and I will be back with some good news soon

I would like some advice please from anyone who has had fsh injections and swayed girl.

Also should I continue e4d bd with out any protection or should I e4d with protection and leave it for one shot once I recived the trigger shot? Should that one attempt be on the day I recieve the trigger shot or 36 hours after or do I do e4d without protection and extra attempt 36 hours after?

Sorry I have so many questions!

I am doing Clomid plus low dose Gonal-F injections this cycle. I think you should definitely BD E4D bc even with a trigger O can be unpredictable. Fx for us both!

Can you take both clomid and gonal together? I would like to take clomid as it has a girl sway but then will it sway girl in me as I don't respond to it?
I got low 25mg dose of clomid still left in my drawer, Im also scared with the fsh it may then work and I get more than 3 follicles developing and then this cycle will be a no go too.

Also what is it like injecting, the nurse said its just like an insulin pen, well I got the fsh pen today and the needles are twice as long as my son's insulin pen needles, I'm scared!

Hi there. It should be a similar size and gauge as the insulin. Very small. What daily dosage are you on?

They're often used together. I am also on 25mg Clomid. It WILL still sway pink for you. It could increase follicle numbers, so I'd ask your dr as they may adjust the injects as a result.

The injections are virtually painless. Super easy.

I'm not sure yet because all I can remember them saying is I will be starting on a low dose. I take the pen back to the clinic and the will teach me the dose and how to inject when I have my baseline scan.
This is what I have

Do you still take it cycle day 2-6 with gonal?

I took Clomid 3-7 by itself the cycle before last, this time I'm doing Clomid 1-5, Gonal 3-5. I'm starting earlier to try to bring O forward, plus my AF came in the evening so my CD1 is almost like CD2. I've seen people take Clomid starting anywhere between CD1-5 for 2-8 days in a row, in combination with 2-8 days of injections. Usually there is at least 1 day of Clomid/Gonal overlap or the injections start 1-2 days after the last Clomid dose. I'm sure there have been other patterns but those are what I have seen,

1000% you MUST DTD every 4 days without protection plus one at trigger OR if you want to up odds of conception further, e3d plus one.

I think you should check with your doctor about the Clomid. I do not recommend taking it without doctor's clearance in this case.

I thought about it and I'm not going to do both just the gonal!
Still waiting for af to show!
It still amazes me that after 3 boys I'm now experiencing infertility!
