Clomid, Metmorphin, HCG injection
Hello All,
I am new to this website. My endocronlogist put me on Clomid 50mg and Metmorphin 150mg. I had one mature follicle(17mm). But I was not pregnant that month(Sep 2006), then our next cycle she increased the clomid dosage to 100mg. I still had one mature follicle(24.5mm). I had my IUI done in that cycle. First week after the IUI, the progestrone level was 21.5 and my estrogen level was 200. But still no luck.
I am having 30 day cycle now that I started taking Clomid. I use to have irregular periods before that.
I got my last period on Nov 10th, and I started taking Clomid from Day 4. My doctor suggested that when I will start to ovulate, then I shd take my HCG injection. I want to know, what is use of HCG injection? And are there any side effects?
With Clomid, I notice some discomfort in the ovaries and sometimes hotflashes. But nothing drastically painful.
I don';t understand, why despite everything being so timed, monitored through blood work and Ultra sound, nothing worked so far.
Any suggestions? I am feeling very worried and restless.
Thanks,
Akapoor

when do you inject the HcG if you want to increase your chance of ovuluation when you're placed on Clomid and at what dosage and for how long?
hi i was just wondering if anyone else is going through what i am at this very moment. we've been ttc for 3 years. we've tried clomid know this month we are trying clomid with the hcg shot(that is if everything looks right when i have my ultrasound on the 29.
anyone else going through this??
anyone else going through this??
do you have to have a menstrual to concieve or is that what the injections do for you without the bleeding? Sorry to sound so dumb but as i have seen its easier to ask people who are going through this. I have been prescribed hcg and menopur. My problem is that i almost never have my period. any suggestions?
Don't be discouraged. I also have PCOS and am this time around on my 2nd round of Clomid. I am on 100 mg days 3-7 and on 1000 mg glucophage. I go today for my Ultra sound to see if I have any mature follies. :O)
Good luck, I'll check back and see how your doing. I also belong to a wonderful thread that is "lets keep this thread rollin, Cycle Buddied # 8"
You are more than welcome, there are several women going through the same thing.
Hope to see you there.

Hello all,
its been a while since anyone has posted concerning the fertility drugs. i recently had my clomid increased to 100 mg, taking metforomin 150 mg, and recently had my first hcg injection (which i injected myself and wasn't as bad as i thought it would be) but the effects made me feel like i had morning sickness.
anyway, this is my second clomid cycle and i am concerned about it not being a positive result. i've been diagnosed w/ pcos over 7 years ago, am 33 and just recently started trying to get pregnant w/ my DH.
right now i just don't want to get discouraged so any words of encouragement would be appreciated.

In response to a couple of the posts. I have PCOS and wasn't ovulating on my own. I did clomid for 3 months on my own and didn't O until I hit 1oomg (1 egg). When I did 150mg, I o'ed 2 eggs. Still didn't get pregnant. Went to RE, went on menopur shots, clomid (50mg) and ovidrel (hcg) shot. O'ed 1 egg and got pregnant (just miscarried at 6 weeks 5 days). I also added metformin a few cycles ago and it helped me O on my own just by being on it by itself - think only one egg - but I didn't get pregnant with it. Hubby and I are going to try to do just the metformin for the next cycle or two before we go back to the menopur shots, clomid and hcg shot. But i truly think the menopur, clomid, and HCG shot was a miracle combo. Even though we lost our munchkin, we still got preggo right away on it. We also just did timed babydancing - no IUI (DH sperm is fine).
To answer the other question, I LOVE my clearblue fertility monitor and charting!! After I had the HCG shot, it is always thought that you O 36 hrs later. Nope! I O'ed almost 4 days later!!! If i hadn't been using that fertility monitor when I was I would have thought to stop BDing but my monitor said peak fertility and we BDed for 3 days after the shot and got preggo. I told Dh, "that's what the monitor says - so lets do it some more" and we got preggo.
So, a great combo to start off with (if you want to avoid alot of drugs and your cycles are normal) try charting and the clearblu fertility monitor. You can get the monitor on ebay for around 100 bucks.
Good Luck and super sticky baby dust (SSBD) to all!!
