September will be here before you know it! Enjoy the summer - even though I know it has to be so hard to continue to wait for the next steps... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clomid-refill-try-again-or-skip-it#post-931942 Mon, 15 Jul 2013 11:07:44 +0000 sweetooth 931942@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd wait and pair it with an IUI procedure. That way you get to have the monitoring and see if the Clomid is actually helping at all. Then once you have that knowledge you can either keep going with Clomid - or switch to injectibles. (my two cents :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clomid-refill-try-again-or-skip-it#post-930230 Sun, 14 Jul 2013 12:31:36 +0000 tequiero21 930230@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldn't. We had the option to do clomid for the 4th time and we didn't. Taking too many has known side effects. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clomid-refill-try-again-or-skip-it#post-929955 Sun, 14 Jul 2013 09:02:00 +0000 Dandelion 929955@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would...but I'm impatient, lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clomid-refill-try-again-or-skip-it#post-929947 Sun, 14 Jul 2013 08:54:45 +0000 cheert16 929947@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@alie: well my fingers are crossed for you this month!! I know how frustrating the whole process is, and how stating positive is hard!! Anything that helps is worth it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clomid-refill-try-again-or-skip-it#post-929922 Sun, 14 Jul 2013 08:24:14 +0000 fairefaire 929922@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sarac: @cheert16: Exciting! I don't think I'll be as lucky to actually get a BFP with it, although the extra hope alone is worth it! If nothing else, it will help make sure I don't have a never-ending cycle next month, pushing the IUI back even further. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clomid-refill-try-again-or-skip-it#post-929916 Sun, 14 Jul 2013 08:22:26 +0000 fairefaire 929916@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@raintreebee: @marionberry: We won't be using Clomid with the IUI, but back after our 3rd Clomid cycle, our RE said we could try it again for a 4th time if we wanted to. At that time, I didn't because I was just emotionally exhausted from month after month of BFNs and didn't want to think about any of it for a while. </p> <p>Now I'm just impatient to get to the IUI and want to feel like I'm doing at least *something* proactive in the meantime :) But as I mentioned I"ll be calling my RE on Monday anyway just to double check. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clomid-refill-try-again-or-skip-it#post-929771 Sun, 14 Jul 2013 04:54:33 +0000 raintreebee 929771@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Because of its health risks, docs usually have limits on the # of clomid cycles in a year or even lifetime so I would definitely save it for the iui. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clomid-refill-try-again-or-skip-it#post-929732 Sun, 14 Jul 2013 02:33:31 +0000 cheert16 929732@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would go for it! I got my bfp on my 3rd clomid cycle (using ovidrel and monitoring ) with timed intercourse </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clomid-refill-try-again-or-skip-it#post-929512 Sat, 13 Jul 2013 22:15:12 +0000 sarac 929512@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got pregnant on my forth clomid cycle. I would go for it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clomid-refill-try-again-or-skip-it#post-929434 Sat, 13 Jul 2013 21:21:26 +0000 marionberry 929434@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I voted no because they usually only want you to try Clomid 3 times in a row or so and if you use up one time this cycle then you'd only have 2 options to use it with IUI cycles. Sure you could switch to Femara at that point, but given you may do up to 5 IUIs I personally would just choose to wait. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clomid-refill-try-again-or-skip-it#post-929399 Sat, 13 Jul 2013 20:55:14 +0000 ladybee 929399@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I say try it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clomid-refill-try-again-or-skip-it#post-929391 Sat, 13 Jul 2013 20:49:27 +0000 wheres_c 929391@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>go for it! worth a shot right? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clomid-refill-try-again-or-skip-it#post-929359 Sat, 13 Jul 2013 20:29:01 +0000 fairefaire 929359@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are planning on doing our first IUI (paired with Letrozole and Ovidrel) in September (during a cycle that should theoretically start at the end of August). After several months of being "on a break", I'm getting impatient - but for insurance/financial reasons, we definitely won't be doing the IUI any earlier than what's currently planned.</p> <p>We did three rounds of Clomid back in the spring, and all were (obviously) BFNs. But as we're getting closer to our last pre-IUI cycle, I'm toying with the idea of using my final Clomid refill next cycle, just for the hell of it. </p> <p>I'm going to call my RE on Monday to see if she has an opinion either way (she's won't, she'll tell me to go for it if I want to, and hold off if I don't), but am curious - what would you do? (The Rx is only $15, so finances are a non-issue). </p>
