I did 3 cycles of femera + ovidrel, the last one we added an IUI to and I am now 28 wks pregnant. I had no real side effects from the femera or the ovidrel, just a bit of itching at the injection site for about a min. I liked the certainty of knowing that ovidrel would trigger ovulation in 36hrs, it took away the guesswork. My first two femera cycles I was on 5 mg and developed 3-4 follicles, my successful cycle I was only on 2.5mg and only had 1 follicle. With the successful cycle I don't know if it was having just 1 really good follicle, the IUI, or really well timed sex that did the trick. Good luck

@LabradorLover: I found it really easy, but needles don't really bother me. The ability to do it myself came in handy when I had a monitoring appt at 7:15am and was told to go home and trigger at 8am for my IUI the next day at 1pm since my husband left for work at 7:45

Oh I also made DH do the injection

@LabradorLover: good luck I hope this cycle works out for you, its a long frustrating road
