success of ovidrel

[frankie15]

I will begin starting Ovidrel next week and I was wondering what the success rate is with this fertiltiy drug.  I have miscarried 1 time in the past, but this was mostly due to a very large fibroid, which has now been removed.  After charting my temp,  my fertility specialist is saying that it appears that my eggs are not maturing enought to get pregnant.  Any thoughts?

hello!  i just wanted to give you a little insight!  my husband and i have been ttc for 2 years now... (i'm 28, hubby is 38) i was diagnosed with ovulatory problems 2 years ago.  on my 3rd cycle of clomid 150 mg i was instructed to use ovidrel on day cd12.  i triggered and tadah----  2 weeks later---- BFP!!!!!  unfortunately i did misscarry at 8 weeks.  i'm on my 4th cycle now of clomid 150 and ovidrel---  i triggered 7 days ago and am on the dreaded 2ww....
all in all i know that it was ovidrel that worked for us.  i wish you the best of luck!!!!

Ovidrel is a commonly used drug that matures the egg and assures ovulation. It is unusual to be using this drug without other fertility drugs such as clomid, gonal-f, follistim, bravelle, or menopur, since all ovidrel does is facilitate the final steps in ovulation. Ovidrel by itself is rarely used to treat a fertility problem. I am sorry, but I cannot really give you a success percentage, since I am not quite certain why or how the ovidrel is being used.
