Just wanted to say good luck with this protocol - sometimes just changing the meds can make a big difference! How are you doing so far?

Yes changing meds made a huge difference! I never got pg w/ IUI until I started injectibles and then first cycle it worked!

Keep us posted and good luck!

I am doing pretty good. Really crampy, but much less moody than with the Clomid. I am at cd7 and I already have 2 14mm 1 12mm and 5 that are between 8.5-10. I am doing 2 more days of follistim then back to the RE's to see when I will be ready to trigger. Is it true that your eggs are mature at a smaller size with injectables than with Clomid? If that is the case hopefully I will have several contenders!

I was always triggered when the follicles were 18-20 on Follistim, and they would let me go a little longer on Clomid (closer to 20 or even 21).

Good luck to you! I hope this is your month. I am still waiting to see what happens this month. Another week and a half.. I don't have a lot of faith since the doctor told me my chances were so low. I guess that isn't a good attitude to have but what can i say! Good luck to you. Heidi
