Anyone do clomid+IUI without injectables?

shellnurse · Mar 15, 2010

Just doing clomid and IUI with my OB as a first step. How did you check for ovulation? LH pee sticks? I know from pee sticks that if I ovulate it's always on day 16. My OB recommended temp charting but it's really disheartening to wake up early every morning only to prove that I didn't O this cycle, so it's hard to find a reason to continue. My understanding is that it's only helpful in looking back to find a pattern.

I keep hearing about US, then trigger shots, but if I'm not doing the trigger shot, then what?

Yes. We do Clomid days 5-9, u/s and b/w starting day 12, and then I come back as often as they need me to until we do the IUI. We always plan on doing a trigger shot 36 hrs ahead of the IUI, but I always end up naturally surging on my own!

i would sure suggest a trigger shot so that you know you got the timing right rather than waste a cycle and put your body thru more cycles and drugs, is there some reason why you dont want to?

as for ultra sounds, any doctor that puts you on clomid should be monitoring it mid-cycle pre o regardless of the iui plans, there can be hyper-ovulation issues and other things that need to be watched for.

Thats what we used to conceive clomid and IUI. I used ovulation predictor pee sticks. I'd been charting for ages. Clomid pushed my O day two days later for some it makes O early.

We didn't do ultrasound or trigger shots.
