Clomid & Ovidrel

JDumanz44

Hey all..

Wondering how many of you have tried Clomid? Also, have you tried Ovidrel along with the Clomid?

With my son we had did one natural IUI and I got pregnant the first try. This will be IUI #6 trying for baby number two, same donor. I've tried Femara/Letrozole and Ovidrel, but never Clomid. I also tried injectables one cycle, but with no luck. I'm hoping that the doctor will agree to prescribe me with Clomid so I have more "targets" (opposed to Femara). Injectables are too expensive at this point. We've spent over $11K in one year, so we're coming to the end of our time. Honestly, I know there are risks with multiples but I'm not very concerned at the moment. I've had two cycles with 3-4 mature follicles, and no pregnancy.

Just wondering everybody's experiences with Clomid, what side effects, how many mature follicles you ended up with, any multiples? I'm also weary about Ovidrel... I know it must work, but I feel like it makes me ovulate earlier than I should (I know it's supposed to help with final maturation, but still...I'm just paranoid that it's negatively affecting me).

Thanks in advance everybody!
