wow. this stinks. i wondered if anyone had this happen?? I went in for my u/s and thought I was doing my Ovidrel tonight, however, I had ZERO follicles. They are bumping me to 200 mg and want me to start it today. this was my 3rd time. last time i made follicles. what happened??

This might sound dumb but now i fear that 6 tries on clomid isnt enough! At first when I tried clomid, 6 seemed like a lot. Now I am on to round 4 and i am really worried 6 is too little.

thanks for listening. :(

I am not sure what happened, but my first month on clomid I had lots of follies. RE switched to femera because my lining was thin on clomid. That month, I only had one and the RE was really concerned. I wonder if sometimes it just varies or if your ovaries are working overtime so some months they just don't cooperate. I really hope 200mg does the trick for you.

WOW - 6 tries with CLOMID! My RE would be pissed. He says NO more than 3 tries within a year. We did 150 mg with nothing then he bumped me up to 200 mg and I had one follicle. However, my lining was sooooo thin we had to cancel the IUI. My RE said that even IF an egg was fertilized it would not be able to implant.

I did not like clomid.

My SIL did get pregnant on Femara.

Clomid and I never got along, suffered from alot of side effects. Either way, when I did start for the 1st round, my DR advised me that he would only allow 4 at the most in a year. I currently am doing the injectables and it made my lining great my DR said, but my folicles stopped growing at 12mm so they didn't go thru with my IUI this time.

I also agree we the 2 posters after me that I would move onto injectibles. If you are not responding at such a high dosage of clomid it is time to move on. Don't risk the damage to your lining.

I continue to have lining issues which my RE attributes to the clomid.

so, I have news since the post. My RE called and said my bloodwork came back and it DID show activity. He said not to start the clomid today and to come back on Thursday for another u/s to see if anything is there. So, a small glimmer? And yea, I agree that if I have to do a 4th cycle I should not do more after that of jsut Ovidrel and timed intercourse?!

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
