My FSH is 10.9 (AMH is 0.73) and my RE wants to move right to injectibles + IUI. I trust her very much. However, we wouldn't be able to start this cycle due to timing (I would have had to have started yesterday). I could, however, try a monitored clomid cycle starting tomorrow on cd 5 (this was the original plan before my FSH came back high). My instinct is to try the clomid for a month rather than try nothing, see how I respond and then move on to injectibles....But I don't know if it a waste of money. I know my chances are slimmer but is it a lost cause? Anyone try clomid with a high FSH?

For me it would depend on how much money it would cost. IUI cycles with monitoring can get really expensive. I understand why you don't want to do nothing though. Since you already have the Clomid could you take it and skip the monitoring?

I think I would stick with your RE's plan. The downside to a Clomid cycle is that, worst case scenario, it could actually delay your starting injectables (if you were to, for instance, develop a cyst or thinning of your lining). A lot of people also have far worse mood disturbances with Clomid. In the grand scheme of things, a month isn't a long time to wait.

I would not take it and stick to the RE's plan as well.
It's a serious drug that most likely wouldn't cause harm, but it has the potential in delaying things even longer than one month. I took it once and it really thinned my lining, so then it took time to get things built back up. Hang in there!

Thanks all. I'll talk to the doctor tomorrow and see what she thinks...

@travellingbee: Good luck with whichever you decide! Please keep us posted!

@travellingbee: I know it's hard to take a month off when you're ready to be pregnant yesterday, but I do think Clomid can affect your lining. It did with mine when I took it for a second time before moving on to injectables. Good luck with your decision.
