Danni-- What is Menopur because I see that in my new prescription order also.

Thats exciting Danni, wish I knew when I was in my 2ww, have everything crossed for you

 

[lanet]

Ok my new plan is femara, bravelle, iui. Any experience with this?

 

[star25]

Hi I havent lanet sorry, what is bravelle?
Is this your first iui?

 

[lanet]

Bravelle is an injection. Fsh I think? I start femara today cd 3, for 5 days, and an injection starting tonight and then every other night 3 times. This is my second iui. The first was with clomid and I had a good follie, and great sperm sample and a bfn. I'm hoping and praying for 4 follies bc that the absolute most my dr would allow and I want the best chance! I'm nervous bc I have to mix these injections and it looks very complicated. And these things were expensive! I go in for a follie check on cd 12. Fingers crossed!

Star did you say you are not sure if you've ovulated?

 

[lanet]

Also I was looking through my paperwork and noticed I never had the amh test. My dr said everything else is normal so it most likely is but she will test when I come in for follie check. I'm nervous. Have you guys had this. It's also been 2 years since I've had the fsh/lh test etc so I may have to repeat those. On one hand being unexplained is scary but on the other I really don't want any bad news I just want a bfp with twins and be done. Lol. Is that too much to ask? And for the record a bfp with a singleton would be a dream come true too!

Danni-- What is Menopur because I see that in my new prescription order also.

Menopur is an injection that contains FSH and lsh. It is given to create better egg quality not quantity.

 

[Dannixo]

Ok my new plan is femara, bravelle, iui. Any experience with this?

I'm pretty much doing your same protocol except I'm going to take menopur injections and we don't need to do an iui. We will start in November if bfn this month. Was suppose to start this month but ordered menopur and it was $760 for 5 vials. We weren't paying that much so I ordered them overseas and got 10 vials for half that price.

I was able to order mine from a pharmacy in St Louis, Mo. I ordered my ovidrel from there too. The total for 3 bravelle 75iu and 1 ovidrel was $296 so I'm pretty happy about that.
We don't have to have iui but it's not much more $ so I thought anything to up the chances if I'm going to take all of these meds!
I hope you get a bfp this month and don't have to start the injections but if you do have to, I'll have some insight by then

 

[star25]

Good luck lanet and Danni, all this effort you have to get your bfps
I agree lanet, if I was lucky enough to have twins I wouldn't go through this ever again to have anymore!

I'm not charting or using opks as last cycle was 49 day's so just going to wait then do 3 more cyclesnif Clomid before ivf in the new year
Im hoping this cycle is shorter as from day 20 I had ovulation pains for 2 days and my boobs have felt different from about day 21 ,it's like they do just as they normally start hurting then they really hurt but it's been about 4 or 5 days of this kind of hurting but not as bad as normal and never had it this early, also after we bd and I 'o'd last night I had period cramps which I normally get a few days before af and not normally this early after we dtd so hope these are signs for a shorter cycle!

 

[Noele0002]

Good morning ladies! Well AF showed on Saturday morning so I definitely think I ovulated on CD 19 and not CD 16 like I originally thought. This cycle will be another natural cycle for me but I am going to start using the ClearBlue digital opks again.

Hope you all have a great week and I am looking forward to reading everyones updates.. seems like a lot of you have new plans in action Sending babydust to all!!!

 

[cntrygrl]

Noele-- Sorry AF showed. You're going back to the dr. the beginning of the year, right?

AFM-- Still a natural cycle. I'm thinking I O'ed possibly yesterday. The next couple of days of temps will tell. I did add fertility blend again to my vitamin regiment. I only took one along with my prenatal.

 

[Noele0002]

Cntrygrl- Yes I am planning on going to at the start of the new year. But I am getting antsy so who knows... Thinking I will call when AF shows after this current cycle and see if my doctor will let me start on Letrozole again and ask him over the phone what our next step should be... Probably have to go in for an appointment again to discuss it. I'm not really sure.

 

[cntrygrl]

Noele-- When I went to the Specialist he said they don't like doing Clomid without IUI because of the cervical mucus factor. Is IUI an option for you guys?

 

[Noele0002]

Cntrygrl- Yes IUI is an option for us through my OBGYN. I'm just not sure if he thinks we are ready for that step yet. I need to just call and figure all of this out. I never told him we were taking a break from meds so I have spoken with him since June/July. I'm going to call today because I am starting to get anxious to try something new. I will update what I find out. Oh and my OBGYN is not a fan of Clomid and that's why he switched me to Letrozole. Letrozole did not dry me up like Clomid did so I'm not sure if there is a difference. I know it is less harsh on your body than Clomid.

 

[Noele0002]

*Update* So I called my doctor today and he called in a prescription for Letrozole and wants me to take it starting today since I am only on CD 4 today. He told me and DH to bd every other as soon as AF lightens up (which is today because AF is practically gone) and keep bd'ing every other day until I get a positive opk. Not like any of this is new but I am excited to be actively trying again. My ttc 'break from meds' is officially over. Also, I did not ask about iui so who knows when that will come into play. But for now.. fingers are crossed that meds will help me get my bfp. I'm thinking another reason I am excited about this is because I have lost 15+ lbs since I've last taken meds and DH has cut out all beer/alcohol intake for the last month and in general we have built a healthier lifestyle so I have to think that all of that has to up our chances, even just a little bit. Sorry for rambling.

Cntrygr, good luck in this 2ww

Danni and lanet where are u both in your cycles?

Afm, CD27 and boobs have been hurting properly now since yesterday which means I'm going to have a fairly normal cycle and can start the Clomid again
