clomid to injections

deleted_user

Hello everyone can someone please tell me if there is any wonder drug that doctors prescribe before you go injections? My insurance covered clomid but will not cover injections. The $1300.00 is pretty steep for a 50/50 chance. I was told on clomid that my uterine lining was too thin. Is there anything I can take to thicken the lining without injections? Thank you.

You can use Progesterone to thicken the lining. If you are like me though, the Clomid will just thin your lining again.
My doctor also said that I could use Femara which works like Clomid. Femara does not thin your lining the way Clomid does. Not sure if insurance covers it or not because it is not a fertility drug. It is used as a fertility drug "off-label". Hope this helps :)

We are sort of in the same boat. We have done two cycles of IUI using Tamoxifin in pill form because the injectibles were not covered. I have a septate uterus, which means my lining doesn't thicken the way it should anyway. After each IUI, I was put on 100mg of progesterone 3 times a day to help that. They still failed. We are going to do a round of injectibles. The cost will be $1800 (that is after some donated meds and some stuff that I bought from a woman in Indiana less than 1/2 price). The full price would have been $4200 with Freedom Pharmacy or $3400 from IVFmeds.com.

The reason we are going forward with it is that the Tamoxifin only gave me 1-2 follicles. Hopefully, the injectibles will produce more than that and give us a better shot.

I hope that helps a little.

    I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...
