clomid success rates - Page 2

Well, I had three follicles but they were only 10.5, 10 and 10. I'm starting prometrium today to bring on AF and we're going to a mix of Clomid and injectables next cycle.

Denise, what is the name of the injectable you used with Clomid? The doctor mentioned what we will use but I can't remember the name. He said we will do them on days 3, 5 and 7 with the 3-7 Clomid. I had no idea there was an option between Clomid and the really expensive $2000+ injectables, so I'm hopeful that will help.

Dani I did a Clomid Injectables mix last cycle. I took 150mg of clomid 5-9 and Gonal-F 10-17 triggering on cd 18. I ended up with 6 mature follies. I ended up with ohss and exactly 2 weeks after the iui I got AF. First time I have ovulated, first af without provera in years. I wish you lots of luck with this next cycle. I responded well to it. Sitting out this cycle cause my ovaries are still huge. Can't wait to get back in it.

I did clomid with the gonal F and fertinex. Its been so long the kind 0f drugs may be diffrent now. I respond really well with the mix. I was a poor responder. My first IVF was cancelled due to small eggs. with the mix I would retrieve between 6 and 8 eggs. This was very good for me.

Well I am almost 40 weeks pregnant and ready to deliver any day and I took clomid. I started at 22/24. I rarely got my period on my own and always took birth control pills to have it every month. Well I went off and with my insurance they want you to try the meds before testing so my OBGYN put me on 50 mg. from days 5 to 9 and nothing. The second month he upped to 100 mg. froms days 5 to 9 and nothing. Third month he kept it at 100mg but upped the amount of days from 5 days to 7 days so I took it from day 5 of my cycle till day 11 and wham I ovulated and got pregnant.

Good luck and please no it can happen to you. I also used First Response Ovulation Kits the first two months and it was saying I ovulated on the second day I tested and when I came in exactly 8 days from the day the test changed the results would come back really low so my doctor suggested to change kits because maybe that one wasn't working and I switched to Clear Blue and that changed literally on the last test kit and showed I ovulated really late.

Goldie my doctor said after the second round that he wanted me to take it for seven days and not just five and said he had really good success with that and even started seeing write up's in medical magazines he reads about it. As for when he starts it he always started on day 5. I would take provera and from the first day I bled (sorry TMI) I counted and on the 5th day I would take it. Now I know that OPK aren't that great and can give a lot of false positives but I really believe that if I didn't switch and continue sex I wouldn't of been pregnant. See the first two months as soon as I got a positive we only had sex a few more nights every other night.

Good luck.
