Over the course of 2 years, I did 5 rounds of clomid. I began seeing a Japanese fertility doctor and we did a monitored round of Clomid. I O'd but got a BFN. He figured since it was my 6th round, we might want to move onto injectables. I injected two types of drugs: Follistim and hMG (I don't know the "brand" name of it, just that it was hMG). The follistim was a very easy peasy shot that used a "pen" with a cartrige. You can google that and see pictures- it wasn't scary at all. I did 150ui every other day for eight days. I've read on these boards about other people's stories, and it seems I had a different dosage than most people. most get a lower dose over a much longer course of time. Anyways, next I did the hMG shots- Just 2 of them which was great. Those shots were done with a regular needle and I had to mix the liquid with powder. The shot itself didn't hurt much, but I found it emotionally scary to mix it, then inject it with the needle. I much prefered the "pen" method of follistim.
Anyways, no IUI, we just BD'd and got our BFP on the first round of injectables. I personally wasn't ready to try IUI unless we had problems with a round or two, but that's just me
