Hospital appointment at Fertility Clinic


Hi All I'm back at the fertility clinic tomorrow after 4 rounds of clomid and HCG trigger jab not working, please wish me luck!!

I think the next step is going to be checking my tubes and I am asking for a lap as I want my uterus checked too in case of anything going on there that could be stopping implantation. I think then they are going to recommend IUI which I am very nervous about, do you think it would be worth my while pushing for another couple of months on clomid but without the stress of scans and jabs? I'm not ready to give up on the clomid as I believe I have had 2 chemical pregnancies on it and maybe just need something else (I'm not sure what!) to help a bean stick.

I am also very torn between not wanting to have the IUI as its quite instrusive and I find smear tests distressing enough, and giving it at least one go as it may be the treatment I need!!!

Thanks for reading and I'll let you know how I get on! Me and DH are planning on going for lunch and to the cinema afterwards so I have something nice to look forward to to get me through my appointment!! Mind you I'm still hoping a will show up tomorrow as the is due today or tomorrow but my hopes (which were never very high) are disappearing fast.

Thanks again
Carebear

Hey! Just wanted to wish you lots and lots of luck with your appointment! I've not really got any advice other than... i'd say go with your gut instinct and push for what you think is right.
take care x

Good luck tomorrow. Yes, if you feel strongly that you would like another couple of months on clomid before moving onto anything else, then tell them that. 4 months isn't that long. See what they say.

Hope it goes ok. Keep us posted. And enjoy your afternoon with your OH. Sounds lovely xxx

Good luck CB!!!

Stupid question i know and apologies in advance but did they up your clomid dosage at all? I only ask as my BF was on clomid and it took them a while to get the dosage right - once it was upped she fell pregnant? Fingers crossed xx

Not a stupid question!! No they haven't as I have been on 100mg from the start with a scan every month to see how I have been responding. My first month on it I had one follicle, second month 1 right size one and a smaller one, 3rd month 2 right size ones and this last month I had a scan on CD14 which showed 3 follicles at 12mm so I didn't have the HC trigger jab as I monitored myself for the rest of the cycle using OPK's and I believe I o'd 2 weeks ago! So I don't think the clomid dose needs to be upped as my response to it has been pretty good really and improved too, I think eggs have been getting fertilised but not implanting so maybe my progestrone is slightly low? Will see what they say tomorrow.

Thanks for all the lovely messages x
