I really hope someone can help me. I was on Clomid last cycle (50 mg) and nothing happened.

Hi!


I have had the trigger shot for the past two cycles with an IUI and what your dr/nurse is telling you makes absolutely NO sense. There is no use in giving a trigger shot without an ultrasound- if the folicles are not at least 18mm (most want 20) then triggering will release an immature egg and pregnancy will not occur. So if they cannot tell what size your follicles are at, it is silly and a little reckless money/cycle wise to give a trigger. At 10 days, there is not really a very good chance of having a mature follicle. Most checks start at 12 dpo!!!


Good luck and let us know what happens!


Hope this helps!

I am on Femara & have done HCG triggers for the past 3 cycles now & my MD always has me come in on CD 11 to have an U/S to check Follie size. So far, mine have always been good to go on that day, but I agree with the prior post, w/o an ultrasound, there is no way to know for sure!! Everyone responds differently to these pills and there is no way for them to know if your eggs are even ready at CD 10 w/o an U/S!! Is this an OBGYN or an RE that you see? I would highly suggest seeing an RE if you can!! Will they just have you come in on CD 10 and they will blindly give you a trigger shot? When you go in, ask them to explain to you how they know that the follies are mature enough to be released without U/S to check size. It IS a big waste of your money (and they benefit from it!) to charge you for the injection and the IUI if your body is ovulating immature eggs!

Hi -


This whole thing makes no sense to me. I could not believe they would not give me an US 1st. I am going to be on Clomid CD5-9 and I don't know how my follicles could be ready on CD10.


I really don't like this dr. She is an OBGYN. She does not seem to know what she is doing. The 1st time I went in was during my previous 72 day cycle. She did not even give me a physical exam or anything. just talked to me for a few minutes then gave me Provera (which I did not do) and Clomid. I did not respond at all to the 50 mg of Clomid. So I just ended a 59 day cycle and she is bumping me up to 100 mg. I had to ask for the Hcg shot.


I also asked for CD3 blood work. The only thing they sent into the lab was LH and FSH. I asked for EVERYTHING! I know something is wrong w/me and they are not listening. I had +OPK for 6 days last week then got AF on Sat. WTH! I totally had other O signs too.


Sorry I guess I needed to vent!!
