WOW Teri....CONGRATS all around! Boys or girls, it matters not......how exciting! Keep us posted!

I went to UVA last Friday for my appt with the RE. He was great, and told me that my probs definitely stem from a hydrosalpinx on my left side and the endo. He doesn't want to go the IVF route initially; he said that we would do this thing called the ORY cycle....anyone hear of it?

It's just a cycle of Clomid plus Gonal-F. I would take the Clomid days 3-7 and inject the GF on day 9. Then HCG shot, ultrasound, and then IUI.

Is Gonal-F and Clomid effective? What do you guys know about it? The dr thinks I need a bit more than Clomid but less than IVF. Which is good bec its still financially less to try it this way.

I can start in October. He wants to do u/s later this month to see if a cyst that popped up went down, or hopefully away.

Hope everyone is having a good wk!
