We did 3 IUIs before switching to another clinic. Oh, I started regular accupunture at some point during the IUIs.</p> <p>New clinic diagnosed me with PCOS and DOR and I was put on metformin and dexamethasone. We decided to try IUIs again with Femera. Did another 3 IUIs... All unsuccessful.</p> <p>Had 2 HSG between both clinics.<br /> Had 1 SHG and will have another before the transfer.<br /> Now, I'm doing IVF with injectibles (follistim &amp; menopur) no Femera. My RE suggested doing the IVF with no fresh transfer. Just FET. I just had my ER and will rest for the next two months before doing the FET in January.</p> <p>We had some TTC breaks but I think I'm at 28 months of TTC (I lost count), but started TTC back in Nov 2011. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-type-of-interventions-have-you-tried#post-1925777 Sat, 01 Nov 2014 21:57:42 +0000 LAZB 1925777@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>To get pregnant the first time:<br /> 12 months actively ttc<br /> 1 laparoscopic surgery to remove stage IV endometriosis<br /> 1 or 2 cycles using progesterone to try to lengthen luteal phase (not successful)<br /> Acupuncture<br /> 1 cycle using Clomid and progesterone, successful </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-type-of-interventions-have-you-tried#post-1925717 Sat, 01 Nov 2014 20:46:55 +0000 FliegepilzHut 1925717@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>1 MMC and D+C :sad:<br /> 1 year of TI, OPK later - IF work-up<br /> 6 months of TI, temping, etc, later - 3 cycles of acupuncture, Clomid, monitoring and IUI<br /> 6 months later - 1 round of IVF resulted in blighted ovum and D+C, followed by big, crazy RPL work-up<br /> FET coming up! :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-type-of-interventions-have-you-tried#post-1925632 Sat, 01 Nov 2014 19:40:41 +0000 travelgirl1 1925632@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Acupuncture, herbs and daily cycle monitoring at a clinic.

With my history of no period we didn't have to wait the one year (though we hadn't been preventing for the last 4 years anyway...)</p> <p>We did:<br /> 4 rounds of clomid + TI<br /> 2 rounds of femara + TI</p> <p>Took a break to find a new RE. I felt like our first one wasn't taking us seriously since I was only 27. Then with the new RE we did:</p> <p>2 rounds of Follistim + trigger + IUI</p> <p>Our second IUI resulted in a BFP. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-type-of-interventions-have-you-tried#post-1925532 Sat, 01 Nov 2014 17:51:28 +0000 mrs bunchy 1925532@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>TTC x2.5 years<br /> 3 miscarriages inbetween all this..<br /> 7 rounds of clomid<br /> HSG all clear; possible septum<br /> Next up- hysteroscopy</p> <p>Doesn't seem all that bad...

Had a chemical about 9-10 months in initially. </p> <p>Treatment included:<br /> - 4 total medicated rounds - 3 Clomid 50mg and 1 Letrozole/Femara 5mg maybe?<br /> - 3 IUIs combined with above, 2 with Ovidrel trigger<br /> - Far too many cycles with progesterone too</p> <p>Also tried acupuncture for a period of time, PreSeed almost every cycle, HSG, and a fertility supplement powder thing for a couple months but I can't remember the name of it.</p> <p>My success came after Letrozole/Femara with Ovidrel and IUI. I don't know if it was because the IUI was earlier that cycle, the different drug... Maybe cause I asked the pharmacist to give me lucky pills?! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-type-of-interventions-have-you-tried#post-1925481 Sat, 01 Nov 2014 16:20:19 +0000 lazypanda 1925481@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>One year of actively TTC (though with only 6-7 cycles)<br /> - 2 rounds of Letrozole/Femara (2.5 &amp; 5 mg) with TI, found out both were anovulatory cycles<br /> - 1 round of 50mg clomid, HCG trigger &amp; TI<br /> - 2 rounds of 150 mg clomid, HCG trigger &amp; IUI, first IUI resulted in CP<br /> - took medicated cycle break, started acupuncture, had HSG<br /> - continued medicated cycle break (21 months of TTC?) with fertility acupuncture, increased daily calories, BFP</p> <p>ETA: IF treatment began after 12 months of TTC, however RE counted NTNP time, so it was 15/16 months before intervention, &amp; two years before my sticky BFP. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-type-of-interventions-have-you-tried#post-1925459 Sat, 01 Nov 2014 15:52:52 +0000 Shutterbug 1925459@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>-one year natural TTC<br /> -2 cycles unmonitored Clomid<br /> -3 IUIs w/ Clomid and HCG trigger<br /> -1 IUI w/ Femara and HCG trigger<br /> -1 antagonist IVF cycle<br /> -1 agonist (Lupron) IVF cycle<br /> -extended (1 year +) treatment break </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-type-of-interventions-have-you-tried#post-1925443 Sat, 01 Nov 2014 15:35:52 +0000 PurplePumps 1925443@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>One year of trying naturally followed by another year with<br /> -3 Clomid with TI<br /> -1 Clomid IUI<br /> -2 Femera IUI<br /> -1 IVF, none to transfer </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-type-of-interventions-have-you-tried#post-1925432 Sat, 01 Nov 2014 15:29:12 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 1925432@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it gets hard to keep track of who has been through what here. I know a lot of us have been through several. I'm not only talking about major treatments, it could be acupuncture and supplements too. </p> <p>Here is my list:<br /> -3 months of fertility supplements for DH<br /> -Varicocele surgery for DH<br /> -2 unmedicated IUI cycles<br /> -2 Clomid cycles<br /> -1 fresh IVF cycle<br /> -2 FETs</p> <p>If you've had success after IF what finally worked for you? </p>
