Clomid success lpd

Fertility on TRT, my positive experience and the protocol I followed.

Fertility on TRT, my positive experience and the protocol I followed.
From the beginning I was concerned about going on TRT because my partner and I want to have kids. But my decision to take the needle was based on medical need not optimization, so I had to mitigate fertility risk.
The first step I took was to freeze sperm for later use, I used a company called legacy, they’re online and I had a good experience with them. At the recommendation of the fertility doctor my partner is using, I am using them for ongoing testing as well.
Once I started TRT I went on a pretty standard dose, I’m on .5ml of 200mg per ML once weekly with half a 1mg pill of anastozole taken orally on the day of the injection. I was initially on 28mg of Clomid a day, then switched to Enclo, after changing to a local endocrinologist I am on 25mg of clomid daily. Same TRT dose the entire time, Test levels are a little over 1000.
Attached are my most recent results, I’ve been on TRT for a year. As you can see daily clomid has produced positive results. I just wanted to share this so others going down this path can see that someone else has taken steps to preserve fertility and had it be successful. So I just wanted Clomid worked for me.

2024.05.18 14:28 JustJoyousForNothing TTC for ~3 years now, multiple FETs and fresh transfers - failure. Feeling totally lost. Need help/suggestions/advice.

Hi everyone,
Me (F, 33) and husband (M, 33) have been TTC for ~3 years now, 1.5 years with IVF treatment. Never conceived/got pregnant yet. I have been quietly lurking in the subs here and some of your posts/comments have been helpful in many ways. This is my first post here.
History/tests done and results for me so far: Normal TSH, DHEA-S 294.8 ug/dl, AMH 1.21 ng/mL (low for my age?!). Have PCOS. No abnormal gene carrier, normal karyotyping results, no Lupus, no Anticardiolipin Ab, no HBSAg, no autoimmune diseases. HyCosy/HSG/MRI revealed left fallopian tubes was blocked and had adhesions along with the left ovary. Also learnt through the IVF cycles that my left ovary doesn't do much - barely any eggs retrieved from the left ovary, most eggs are coming from my right ovary. I also had surgery to remove polyps and uterus septum before any IVF cycles. I also had low Vit D for ~3 years, at normal levels now with taking regular supplements. Now I am actively trying to lose some weight to see if it helps (??!!) - weight in March 2024 was 196 lbs., current weight is 182 lbs. (height is 5'3"). Trying to lose more weight - walking 10K steps a day, focusing more on protein intake, low carb, clean eating no junk.
History/tests done and results for husband so far: 1 out 3 tests showed slightly abnormal sperm morphology. Sperm DNA Fragmentation Assay (SDFA) score 19 (borderline between 'normal odds' and 'reduced odds' of success). No abnormal gene carrier. Normal karyotyping results. No autoimmune diseases.
Supplements/medications I am taking: Prenatal, Vit D, Vit C, CoQ10, Omega3, Alpha lipoleic acid, Seed probiotics, Metformin.
Supplements/medications husband is taking: Multi-vitamin, Vit D, CoQ10, Omega3
IVF retrieval and transfer history/timeline:
1st retrieval in May 2023: Used GonalF 375 IU, MenoPur 150 IU, Cetrotide 0.25 mg. Trigger with 10,000 IU HCG. Retrieved 10 eggs, only 1 of those could be frozen after PGT-A. Used ICSI for this cycle.
FET in July 2023: Used oral Medrol, oral and vaginal estradiol, crinone progesterone vaginal gel once a day and PIO every 3 days. Transferred 1 PGT-A tested Day 5 embryo (4BB) - ended in chemical pregnancy.
2nd retrieval in end of Sept 2023: Used Clomid flare, GonalF 450 IU, MenoPur 150 IU, Cetrotide 0.25 mg. Trigger with 10,000 IU HCG. Retrieved 10 eggs, only 3 of those could be frozen after PGT-A. Used ICSI, Zymot for this cycle.
Fresh transfer in Oct 2023: Used only Crinone progesterone vaginal gel once a day. Transferred 1 untested Day 5 embryo - No implantation.
FET again in Nov 2023: Used oral Medrol, oral and vaginal estradiol, crinone progesterone vaginal gel once a day and PIO every 3 days. Transferred the remaining 2 PGT-A tested Day 5 embryos (4AB and 5AA), also used embryo glue - No implantation.
Doc suggested removing my blocked left fallopian tube -- had laparoscopic salpingectomy surgery in Feb 2024. Took uterine tissue biopsy samples during surgery - normal results, Doc mentioned no endometriosis.
3rd retrieval in April 2024: Used Lupron 10 IU, GonalF 300 IU, MenoPur 300 IU. Trigger with 10,000 IU HCG. Retrieved 8 eggs, 2 of these made it to blasts, none frozen. Used PICSI for this cycle. I was also on Dexamethasone.
Fresh transfer in May 2024: Used only Crinone progesterone vaginal gel once a day. I was also on Medrol, baby Aspirin and Doxycycline. On top of this, I added Pepcid, Claritin, Benadryl. Transferred 2 untested Day 3 embryos - No implantation (got beta result yesterday, also got my periods right after the blood draw in the morning, was devastated).
I have also tried eating pineapple core, beet+pomogrenate juice, McD fries, sex the night before transfer - all of it.
I am at a loss, I do not know what to do now. I am sitting and sobbing here as I am writing this. Thankfully, my insurance covers most testing and procedures, except PGT-A and my medication has copays. But this process is so emotionally draining. My husband is super supportive and tries to keep a positive vibe all the time, but I feel bad for us. Also, it is so hard to keep a nice face at work - no one (family, friends, colleagues) knows we are TTC with IVF.
What are we missing here? I feel like I have implantation issues? Any more testing? What else can I do?
Please let me know what worked for you, what more can be done in my case to have a successful pregnancy. ANY help is appreciated. TIA.

2024.05.17 17:55 Zealousideal_Cap7782 Clomid without IUI procedure

I asked my OBGYN office about trying Clomid without doing the actual IUI procedure. This was their response but I don’t quite understand it. Has anyone done Clomid with IUI procedure? How did you ask your OBGYN? Any insight? Thank you!
Response:
Good morning, you may trial clomid, however the chances of success may not be very high as IUIs are recommended due to male factor infertility (by trying to bypass the cervis and put the sperm directly where its supposed to go). We would like to prevent any delay of care from trialing options that may not provide success due to the issue being related to sperm. We are able to try 3-6 rounds of clomid here with us before we refer out to a REI specialist for further management. If you would like to proceed with clomid, we also schedule follow up sonograms at certain cycle days since we are stimulating the ovaries for ovulation we provide close management to prevent any overstimulation.

2024.05.16 16:54 Fallonam MFI + Varicocele Surgery; ER results

Hi everyone! I have been part of this sub for years and it’s been great info! This is going to be long but I hope it helps! My husband and I started trying in November of 2021 and after a couple months we did an at-home sperm analysis where my husbands results were far below average.
We saw a fertility specialist and were told we’d only be able to get pregnant through IVF. We honestly did not know much about MFI and the urologist we were recommended did not have much to tell us.
We went right into our first retrieval and I retrieved 19 eggs, 12 were mature and only 4 fertilized even with ICSI. We ended up 2 day 7 blasts that were both genetically abnormal. We were incredibly frustrated and disappointed since we went into knowing we were dealing with MFI. It felt like our fertility specialist really disregarded that.
It took us a few months to get an appt with a new urologist who diagnosed my husband with a severe varicocele. We debated and then decided to move forward with the surgery in June 2023. He was also taking clomid. Surgery was a success and then we waited about six months to see if/how he would improve. In January he got great results across the board (ex. Sperm count went from 9M to 35M)
We decided to do another retrieval in March this year and our results were 21 eggs retrieved, 14 mature and all 14 fertilized with ICSI and the symptoms chip! We were in shock. 8 made it to blasts and we now have 7 euploids. I could not have imagined these results were possible!
Now we are hoping to do our first transfer next month. I’m typing this all out because I remember when I was looking for info about varicocele, I didn’t see much so I wanted to show one good case! & to reiterate how important it is to get a second opinion.

2024.05.16 16:48 arogz How many medicated cycles before you started ovulating / had good follicles?

I didn’t respond well to letrozole so I’m wondering how long it took / how much meds it took for others to start getting results?
I broke out in hives due to the Letrozole so I’m assuming I’ll be switching to Clomid. Any success switching from Letrozole to Clomid?

2024.05.16 04:21 Unusual-Tangerine987 Myo-inositol/ NAC supplements?

Hi all - I was diagnosed with PCOS after going off birth control and realizing my periods were fairly irregular (30-60 days). I have no other symptoms outside of irregular periods and cysts confirmed via ultrasound and my labs have been fairly normal (normal testosterone, normal insulin, normal glucose). BMI of 21 so I am technically in the “lean PCOS” category and have been athletic/eat healthy most of my life. I also have hypothyroidism and have been taking levothyroxine to keep my TSH levels within the normal range also, my RE says the irregular periods are most likely only caused by PCOS and that the hypothyroidism is a nonfactor since my TS has been consistent.
I am not currently TTC but am planning to soon and have been wanting to understand all potential options to regulate my periods prior to trying. My RE recommended 2000 mg myo-inositol daily and 600mg n-acetylcysteine daily as a potential supplement to regulate periods, but that I would most likely need some sort of ovulation stimulant like clomid/letrozole when we are actually TTC. I wanted to ask the PCOS community if anyone has had success with these supplements? Recommended brands? These seem branded as a diabetes medication - How does this supplement actually support ovulation in women with lean PCOS?
My RE said that I most likely am not ovulating if my cycles are long especially up to 60 days, and that if we did start trying now that there is a potential that I could be ovulating but that the long cycles could mean a reduction in egg quality… more risk of miscarriage etc… I interpreted this as “wait to start trying until your cycles are closer to 30 days”… any ideas on this?

2024.05.15 15:57 cola_zerola Current ER Numbers and Progression

Hi friends, I’m back with the daily dose of anxiety and pestering you guys with my questions!
I’m 35, AMH 0.86, AFC 7, in my first stim cycle. I went in for my monitoring appointment this morning (stim day 10, have completed 9 days of Follistim and 5 days of Ganirelix, also took Clomid).
Here is my progression. These are my follicles and measurements in millimeters:
•Today, stim day 10, right: 24, 18, 14, 14, 11, 11, 10
•Today, stim day 10, left: 16, 11
•Monday, stim day 8, right: 19, 15, 11, 11, 9, 8
•Monday, stim day 8, left: 13, 9
•Friday, stim day 5, right: 13, 11, 8, 7
•Friday, stim day 5, left: 9
They’re expecting the 24mm on the right to not be present once it’s showtime. They’ll let me know later what the plan is, but my nurse is guesstimating that I’ll trigger tomorrow night and retrieve Saturday (today is Wednesday).
Does anyone else have any success stories with these types of numbers? I know the nurse was trying to curb my expectations, but she said she was thinking I’d probably only have 4-5 eggs to retrieve, even with these numbers.
Thank you all, and I wish you all lots of luck with whatever stage you are in!

2024.05.14 21:38 Lindsaykay95 2 Miscarriages - Wanting advice and success stories

I am 28 years old and I have had 2 miscarriages in the last year. I just got a recurrent loss blood panel done - waiting 2 weeks for the results. I have PCOS so was getting ready to start clomid before I got pregnant the second time. Both loses were around 6-7 weeks. My doctor told me to wait to start trying until we receive the blood test results. Although she said there is only a 50% chance that we will figure out why I can't hold a pregnancy. I am wanting to start trying as soon as I get my cycle back so we can get to the bottom of this and not waste time. Any advice or success stories? Struggling to stay positive.

2024.05.14 03:00 thebeanshadow Current list of Australian TRT Clinics + Where to get bloodwork + Things to consider before starting + Types of TRT

This was created as a place to feel welcome, and to discuss and talk about all things TRT in Australia.
We have an influx of clinics opening up here, with an influx of new people to TRT, and it's only growing
(did you know GP prescribed testosterone has risen over 500% in the last 10yrs worldwide...)
Below is a breakdown of TRT, clinics and bloodwork.
TYPES OF TRT
There are a few methods of TRT in Australia and the world.
Injectable testosterone -- this is the standard type of TRT method with the most amount of research and usage to date. Typically injected Intra-Muscularly, but with more data showing that SubQ injections are just as effective and could potentially have lower side effects due to the slower release
Testosterone Cream & Gel -- Topical ointments can be great due to not having to inject weekly, daily etc, just apply and carry on, but, with topicals, especially Gel - the risk of transfer to other people is very high, you also don't know how much is actually getting absorbed into your skin, and generally you aren't allowed to swim for 6hrs post application
Enclomiphene & Clomid -- This tablet form of TRT has some popularity as it doesn't shut down your natural production and helps to raise it instead, it is also one step even easier than topicals but the overall effectiveness and long term use aren't fully understood and anecdotally seem to be less effective over time and may stop working.
HCG (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin) - another injectable form of TRT but instead of replacing the bodies natural production with an exogenous source, HCG will instead stimulate LH production, almost "forcing" the body to produce naturally -- HCG is often used alongside injectable testosterone to maintain testicular function and natural production
** Some people have success with all forms of TRT, but anecdotally, injectable TRT is still the king of testosterone.
CLINICS
If you are looking for a reputable clinic, below are some clinics that are recommended by Aussies;
PHC - Performance Health Clinic * No yearly or ongoing fees, a pay as you go service, with a more hands off approach + bloodwork every 3mths + cost of medication
EMC - Enhanced Mens Clinic *$1000 yearly fee + bloodwork every 3mths + cost of medication
Primal Zone *$350 initial consult, $100 bloodwork review + cost of medication
The Functional Doctors - over 40s clinic * Bloodwork every 3mths ($300 panel must be done) + $300 consults every 3mths + cost of medication
XY Theraputics - Over 40s clinic * Byo bloodwork or $210 in-house panel. Start up; $299=consult and blood tests $150=consult plus BYO bloodwork - ongoing costs $92 consult and review
TRT Australia * Yearly $860, Quarterly $240, Semi-Annualy $480 - Includes medication, bloodwork review (BYO blood), check-ins
PRIVATE BLOODWORK If you have a good GP that will do bloodwork, that can be a lifesaver, but if not, these companies are trusted and can usually have results within 24hrs.
iMedical * Recommended tests to get before starting your journey are Sports BB2 $172, BB3 $186, BB4 $248
RoidSafe * A smaller set of testing compared to iMedical, but for $50, you can get a snapshot of your bloodwork. This is perfect for patients who know how to read bloodwork and just want to monitor.
Things recommended to check before starting TRT or the journey to TRT;
Semen analysis - It's important to check your sperm health and count before starting as testosterone, sex hormones and your sperm all work closely together - and if you want to have children in the future; you absolutely need a baseline
Sleep study - A very large portion of men have sleep apnea that is directly linked to low testosterone levels, it's important to rule this out as it could be a large contributing factor to how you feel and what your levels show
Full blood panel - You're not just checking testosterone levels, you're checking everything, Vitamin D, Thyroid, Testosterone, Prostate. You need a full panel to be able to tell a full story. And even then, your lifestyle can tell an even bigger part of the story to what's on the paper in front of you.
It's important to remember that TRT can be life changing for a lot of men, but changing your life even the smallest bit can help just as much, as low T symptoms can be caused by a plethora of other illnesses or issues and you need to rule out everything you can;
TRT is generally a "for life" dependant medication; meaning if you have low T and you want normal testosterone levels, you will need to be on TRT for life. You can come off at any time, but you will go back to the original baseline levels you had before starting, and in some cases, go back lower than baseline.

2024.05.14 02:43 ChickChickChicken12 TTC with an autoimmune disorder

TTC with an autoimmune disorder
I have celiacs disease.
I saw a new OB today, and she was the FIRST ONE to out two and two together. I didn’t even think of it… I thought it was just an LPD per the other OBs and CMW I had seen.
Autoimmune Disorders are linking to reoccurring MC. I don’t know HOW on earth I didnt think of that 😐
We’ve been TTC since Oct 2023, and we’ve had 3 CP, and 1MMC since then 😐 I have one LC.
My new OB wants me to try again this cycle, but we’re adding in baby aspirin, a CD21 draw to check my progesterone, and possibly 200mg of vaginal progesterone.
Anyway… Has anyone had success after adding baby aspirin to the mix?! I just want to make my LC a big sibling 😩

2024.05.14 02:11 Doc_Holiday_J Low-ish T + very low free t, low estrogen, no sexual impairment

Hello,
I am curious if anyone has been in this position?
History: put on trt at age 22 due to low t @280 and very symptomatic. Rode trt for 4.5 years, came off and started clomid to have baby. Successful baby and came off clomid. Flash forward to still training 4-5 days a week lifting, tracking my diet, sleeping best I can with a toddler that has issues for the last year.
Current blood work was 425 fasted and 360 fed at 12:30 pm. Free t is 8.0 on 8.7-25.1 scale, DHEA-S 180 on 138.5-475.2 scale, estradiol <10 on 7.6-42.6 scale.
Current stats are 6’1” 219.5 12-13% bf, caloric deficit of 2400 calories and eating plenty of veggies and good stuff.
My symptoms are tired af and caffeine dependent, sex drive is good if not better than when on trt. I’m a little moody sometimes but nothing that feels unnatural. Fat loss might feel hindered compared to past cuts but I get compliments all the time still. Idk y’all I’m just curious what y’all are thinking.

Anyone used clomid oral as a protocol for egg freezing? If so, would like to hear your experiences- the good, the bad, the indifferent. Did you have better, worse or no difference in results?
My first egg freezing cycle was successful without any priming assistance so don’t understand why they want me to take clomid for my next egg freezing cycle. I ovulate regular and I thought don’t fix what’s not broken, right?

2024.05.12 03:10 ErraticWisp Loneliness is not your fault

Hi everyone. I rarely make posts of any kind on social media, but here goes. I'm 20 years old and like many of you, I am lonely. For the past few years, this fact has bothered me. Not anymore, not really. In the past, I tried to be more outgoing. I tried, really, to make friends. I'm in university, surrounded by people—shouldn't be too hard, no? Yet constantly, my efforts to connect were stymied. It felt, still feels, like there is a barrier between us that prevents us from connecting. For context, I came to university with no friends. And, after three years, I can successfully say that I have ...maybe two or three more friends. Several more acquaintances. But, besides that, my social life was utterly barren. Heck, even now as I write this, I spend my Saturdays holed up in my apartment doing nothing. When I am not doing school or work, my social life is for the most part bereft of any real close ties.
Like many of you, this fact brought me great pain. I think, for the most part, it brought me pain because I thought it was my fault. As if there was something defected—in me—that caused me to be lonely. It's my fault I'm lonely. And so I suffered, agonized over which of my so-called "faults" caused me to end up this way. Is it because I'm ugly? Fat? Do I talk too much? Too little? Etc, etc. And no, now, I don't think it's my fault or anyone's fault that they're lonely.
We hear it all the time, that there's this epidemic of loneliness. But then, we see people with these apparently vibrant social lives and so—of course—it is natural to think that it is your fault that you're lonely. If only I got X body or had a Y personality, I wouldn't be so lonely. I want to at least share some reasons why this is not the case and why, in fact, I think loneliness is not your fault.
Primarily, our built-in environments create isolation. This may be particularly obvious to people who grew up in the suburbs, but holy hell our cities are just awful places for cultivating any semblance of a vibrant social life. From here, I'll be referencing a book called The Death and Life of Great American Cities by Jane Jacobs. In her book, written in the 1960s, she was already bearing witness to how urban planning gave way to social isolation. For instance, she writes that "...in cities, where people are faced with the choice of sharing much or nothing, is nothing. In city areas that lack a natural and casual public life, it is common for residents to isolate themselves from each other to a fantastic degree." In other words, cities designed in such a way that individuals must go out of their way to socialize are forced to share either "all or nothing." In such a situation, most people are again forced to choose nothing.
Right now, I don't want to dive into the particularities of urban planning that cause people to isolate. I particularly like this video by Not Just Bikes, which mentions some of these problems (title: Why We Won't Raise Our Kids in Suburbia). Most of this comes down to the fact that we live in cities designed for cars. As such, cities are rarely designed with "people" in mind. Here's another review which I found in writing this post: The impact of the built environment on loneliness. As for why cities are designed this way, that's another story which I'm still trying to understand (if anyone asks, I'll try and give a response).
This post is already fairly long, and I don't want to bore the few people reading this. My point is this. To anyone out there, anyone at all who's suffering from the feeling of being rejected by a world that does not want you, I want to say this. It's not your fault. So, if you are as lonely as I am, I hope this presents some small comfort.

2024.05.10 01:48 huppypuppyyuppy Need Hope 2nd Euploid FET failed

I am a 34F and my husband is 35M. We have unexplained primary infertility.
We are both active and hit the gym 5 days a week and follow a healthy diet.
We tried to conceive naturally for a year and didn't get anywhere so we saw an RE and got all the tests done. Nothing of concern came up. My AMH is 4.3.
Only my TSH was high so I'm on synthroid 75mcg now.
Had a hysteroscopy done (Sep 2023) and they found a polyp so removed that.
Had an HSG done tubes are clear.
2 rounds of IUI with clomid- no success. One of the rounds we had 6 mature follicles and the cycle was cancelled. We took the risk and tried at home but no luck.
ER #1 with follistim, low dose HCG, ganirelix and trigger (Dec 2023) 21 retrieved, 15 mature, 11 fertilized, only 2 blasts. Day 5 4AB and a Day 6 4AB.
Transferred the Day 64AB one in Jan 2024 and it failed to implant. This was a medicated FET with estrogen and PIO.
Decided we should do another retrieval as we want more than 1 kid.
ER #2 with gonal F, menopur, cetrotide, trigger (Mar 2023). Unfortunately I am part of the 1% who ovulated just before the retrieval and lost about 10 eggs. 11 retrieved, 7 mature, 5 fertilized, 2 blasts both Day 7s but only one of them are a euploid 5AA.
Before going into another FET, we had a SIS done where they found another polyp so I had another hysteroscopy done in April to clear that up.
Transferred the Day 5 AB early March and just found out it didn't implant. This was a modified natural FET with letrozole, trigger and then the transfer 7 days later. I also took vaginal probiotics for a month prior to the transfer and a medrol dose pack the week leading up to the transfer.
So now we have this one Day 7 5AA embryo left. I am feeling less hopeful for this one because it's a day 7. And if that doesn't work, perhaps another ER down the road.
Any advice is welcome. what additional testing would you do? Or a different protocol for the third fet?
Anyone been through a similar situation and saw success with their 3rd FET?

2024.05.09 23:22 MooshuAwaken Trigger shot tonight - any cycle buddies?

I finally got the go ahead to trigger tonight, I’ve got one dominant follicle on my left ovary measuring 24.5 mm (hoping it’s not too big but my doctor and nurse assured me it’s fine soo). I feel like it took me ages to get to this point, so I’m really hoping this is the one! I did 150 Clomid and 5 Letrozole CD3-7, came in for monitoring on CD 12 and nothing happened, so they stair stepped me to 300 Clomid and 7.5 Letrozole CD(lol I’m surprised my ovaries didn’t explode, that seemed like so much medication) CD 12-16 and brought me in on CD17 I had one follicle at 18 mm! They had me do 75 units of Follistim injections CD 17, 18, 19, and I went in today (CD 20) and they told me I’m ready! I had a thin uterine lining on CD 17 (only 3.6) so they’ve had me on Estrogen suppositories too for the last few days. It’s helped and my lining was almost at 8 mm today. Hoping for a successful trigger and some good news at my beta test in a couple weeks. Anyone going to be joining the two week wait with me? Feeling cautiously optimistic!

2024.05.07 21:45 CarelessVariation728 Low AMH - considering IVF and Clomid

Hi All
Long story short, I got off my HBC after being on for 10 years. It's been 5 months and I have not gotten my period. Went to RE for testing, and was told I have 6-10 follicles and an AMH of 0.49, which is extremely low for my age of 29. I am married, but we were hoping to wait 2-3 years to conceive. Doesn't seem like that is an option now. Doctor is adamant about freezing embryos ASAP. I'm super stressed about not getting enough eggs/embryos to have 2 babies in the future. The dr. also said we could try triggering ovulation with Clomid and try "naturally", but DEFINITELY wants us to do freezing ASAP since time is of the essence. Has anyone had a similar situation and seen success from either IVF or Clomid? I've been sobbing all day and cannot understand how this happened to me. I'm healthy otherwise and young :'(

2024.05.06 14:34 hstcm1 How long should men give Clomid?

My husband has low motility, low enough such that we were told IUI likely won’t be successful (because we couldn’t get 5M motile sperm). The urologist put him on supplements and Clomid. He’s been on Clomid for 2 months. We understand that the soonest we would see improvement in the SA is 3 months, but our fertility specialist told us that it could be more like 6 months. So what we’re struggling with is when to begin medicated IUI cycles. In one sense, I don’t want to wait much longer to start IUI, but in another sense, my insurance covers 3 IUI cycles so I don’t want to throw away IUIs when my husbands sperm could continue to improve. Has anyone seen big differences in SA results after being on clomid for 3 months versus 6 months?

Our first was born early and subsequently passed away in the NICU. I spent years doing metformin, letrozole, and clomid trying for another - unable to get pregnant. Then we moved to IUIs and when that didn’t work - tried IVF. First IVF cycle didn’t take, second transfer which was frozen resulted in a miscarriage , a couple others didn’t take, final transfer we transferred two - and I got my wonderful spitfire of a 4 year old. Here we are, I am almost 39. And Mounjaro helped me get pregnant when I most definitely wasn’t trying.. Moral of the story is you don’t think you can get pregnant and are on mounjaro you may be able to… what a blessing, but also a shock ❤️
Not sure if my flair should be success stories or what..
