Please give advice to a pretty sad girl,

I’ve just failed my 4th medicated cycle, I moved from clomid, to Letrozole (which I did not respond well too) and then Gonal F injections. This month doing gonal F and trigger shot made me so hopeful, one great follicle and a possible second one 39 progesterone result day 21 of this cycle, every symptom under the sun and boom not pregnant.

I’ve had a HCG done 8 weeks ago, all my bloods are great including my thyroid which is actually fantastic, I’m also only 25.

My partners semen analysis was also incredible.

My fertility specialist said it’s up to me whether I do IUI this cycle and I’m unsure!

I’ve always noticed little CM during ovulation so maybe the iui would help if I do have thicker cm? Did anyone else do one with no partner male factors in the way?

I’m honestly feeling hopeless and exhausted, I know it’s going to be only the 5th medicated cycle month but I just never thought it would take this long, I had so much hope when I met the fertility specialist back in Jan

My known issues before I saw the specialist was the incredibly low progesterone and 8 day luteal phase ALWAYS.

I just feel like giving up, was IUI the final piece of the puzzle for anyone?

I’ve just failed my 4th medicated cycle, now on to the 5th and it’s starting to cause me such severe anxiety….

This past month was the most promising month I’ve ever had, progesterone was a 39, trigger shot, Gonal F, every symptom under the sun.

My bloods came back incredible, parters semen analysis great, I’m only 24, had an HSG 8 weeks ago with no blocked tubes.

I’m just exhausted and I don’t know what to do anymore….

Hi everyone,

I’m currently in the TWW of a medicated cycle (Gonal-F + Ovidrel trigger) and was hoping to hear from others who have used a similar protocol.

On my trigger day, I had one lead follicle at 22mm, but also a secondary one at 15mm. My clinic had me do the standard trigger, but added a "booster" of 50iu Ovidrel at 5 DPO (in addition to progesterone pessaries).

I’m curious about two things specifically:

1. Follicle Maturity: For those who have triggered with a "secondary" follicle around the 15mm mark, did your clinic consider that a likely contender for ovulation, or did they view it as too small?

2. The "Booster" Protocol: Has anyone else used a micro-dose HCG booster (like 50iu) mid-luteal phase? My progesterone levels have jumped significantly compared to my last "standard" cycle (reaching 126 nmol/L / ~40 ng/mL), and I'm wondering if this is a common response to the added HCG or a sign of multiple follicles contributing.

Trying to understand the mechanics of this protocol and how much that 15mm "underdog" might be playing a role in my current hormone levels.

Thanks!

Hi all!!! Does having this high of a number greater my chances at all or does it not really change anything?

What were your progesterone levels in a medicated cycle?

Side note I’m on progesterone pessaries and also did a trigger shot!

I started pessaries 4dpo and then did my blood work on 6dpo.

9th month of trying, 4th month medicated cycle and I’m starting to feel exhausted…..
