Are you doing IUI or IVF? I have only taken ovidrel to trigger ovulation for my IUI's. Good luck!

its a longggggggg list.
they start you with clomid and bd. if it doesnt work then with iui. if it doesnt work they do injectables with iui. and if not then ivf. this is in short. good luck.

I did clomid which didnt work and then I did Menopur (an injectible)I know ther are a long list of names. I never did IUI because my insurance didnt cover it.

I think the type of follistm you inject also depends on your insurance. I know I use Gonal-F because that is what my precription carrier covers. I also take ovidrel to trigger ovulation before an IUI.

I started with Clomid; this did nothing for me . . Then I had a successful IUI with Follistim, since, I have been on Menapur, Bravelle, and Leuprolide, and Ovidrel to trigger ovulation. No success with 2 IUI's but I do very well on these meds!? I am starting another cycle tomorrow, doc may up the doses this time. I am 40 so he is not too worried about having multiple births. I have been having at least 8-9 follicles, with a few over 14. Good luck to all of you

I am doing just clomid right now. I am educating myself incase I have to go another route.

those are the fertility drugs, but my doc uses projesterone therapy and there may be projesterone shots. those are oil and a little harder. Those also go in your butt.
