Clomid Buddy?

TTCcheer4xu · 12-13-2004, 01:33 AM

I am on my second round of clomid on day 2 of 100mg. I am also on 1500mg Met. I was dissapointed after the first round of clomid and ovidrel injection did not work, but i reminded myself that the RE said it may take a few cycles to work. Anyone considering insemination? My RE mentioned last time that we could do timed intercourse or insemination. we opted for timed intercourse hoping we could do it ourselves, but i am considering letting him inseminate this time. I would love to hear is anyone has tried this. My Dh is fine, i guess the Dr. would just inject his sperm and it may help the process along. At this point i think i may try it if there is a higher % of pregnancy with it. The only bad thing is insurance doesn't cover it, but i think it will only be $250. I would love a clomid buddy or anyone who has had similar experiences.

Hi! I am on my second day of Clomid 100 mg today, also on 1500 mg of Met. I'd love to be a buddy. I'm not considering insemination at this point, still hopeful we can do it on our own! Good luck to you and whatever you choose. I'll keep you in my thoughts!

Clomid Buddy,
Do you have any side effects with clomid? i had really bad headaches, but they said i could take aleve and that made a big differece. i finished my last day of clomid yesterday and have a dr.s appt. monday and then i wll probably have to get the injection of ovidrel. Have you used Ovidrel? i am not sure if we are going to do the insemination, but i will ask lots of questions and let you know how it works and what % pregnancy vs. timed intercourse.

I had some headaches, but generally Tylenol helped. Plus some hot flashes. I think that's about all. My doctor actually only has me coming in for a day 23 P4 test. No ovidrel, no u/s, no IUI, nothing. After reading a lot of that on these boards, I wonder if I should be asking him about those. But right now, he says to take Clomid day 5-9 (today was my last day), then do the ovulation kit beginning day 11 with BDing

, then come in for a day 23 test, then I think about 10 days after that, assuming I ovulated, I go for a pregnancy blood test. Nothing real exotic. I have been on Clomid 2 months (this is my 3rd) and haven't ovulated yet. But I started Met this cycle and actually got a period on my own without Provera, so I'm hoping that helps.

I'd appreciate any info you can give on what your doctor recommends.

If this month isn't successful, I'll talk to him about doing other stuff.
