Ok.  I took follistim, ganirelix, and ovidrel injections.  I am now on estrace and prometrium tablets.  I spent close to $1100 on medications alone.  My insurance does not cover any meds.  I did not notice any s/e, not even bruising.  I developed 6 follicles.  By day of ovulation, I lost 1 follicle due to being too small, the other 5 were as follows:  24, 22, 20, 17, and 14.  I will find out next Friday if it worked.  I did have to go to the doctor a lot more than with clomid.  I went on cd1, cd3, cd6, cd8, cd9, cd10, and cd11.  The last 2 visits were IUIs.  The others were u/s and b/w.  You need to research where you want to buy your meds from.  I have a document with 6 different pharmacies and prices of the meds I used.  Estrace and Prometrium are not on there because my insurance covered them.  Follistim and Gonal F are supposed to be close to one another.  If you want me to send the document to you, let me have your email and I will send it.  Or you can write me at      Angela.       Clifton       @      VBSchools.      com

I hope I have helped some.

my injectables were menopur, $50/vial, 5 vials per month, + femara $20, + hcg trigger novarel, $20, approximately $300 per month + day 3 ultrasound, $170 and day 11 ultrasound, $125.  I did not get pg, but it is worth a try, it is far cheaper than the next steps (IUI, add another $200 or so, and then IVF, which is thousands)
