talk to me about injectibles.....

Soooo....my 4th IUI with clomid failed and my MD is suggesting that we move to injectibles as I am not really responding well to the increased dosages for clomid.

For those of you that pay out of pocket for the meds (or if you happen to know the costs of the meds off hand) any suggestions on which way to turn. I would like to go cheaper if possible, but if one type is BETTER then the other, I might just go in that direction.

Thanks for your help ladies!

Google Gonal F. They have a prescription card that should cover your cost. Get your RE to order max amount.

I had 1 follie each of my 3 monitored clomid cycles and who knows if I even had one the 3 clomid cycles before that. With Gonal, I've had 4-8 mature follies (this past cycle I had 8!!)

I used Follistim - got pregnant two times using it - one which resulted in my son who is now 3.5. Did you also ask your RE if anyone has donated drugs? Last time, I gave the rest of my drugs back to them.

Re: talk to me about injectibles.....

Gonal F or Follistim are the two stim drugs. They are so simple to use. They do cost a pretty penny out of pocket. I know I have, as well as many other ladies, that have donated leftover meds. So check with Dr and the IF board.
