Unhappy What happens after Clomid

So if you notice my signature, it says that my doctor canceled this cycle for the reason that my follicles had shrunk in size.

They told me to call when I get my and we will discuss my options.

Now here is my issue. I went for a consultation on Injectibles. Basically they showed us what we woudl need to do with them and infomred us of all of the risks involved. Then the big kicker. They told us how much it woudl cost. It is basically $1500 for the medication alone. Not to mention all of the things taht could go wrong!

My question here is... has anyone else had no success with Clomid and moved on to something other then injectibles and IVF? Is there like another pill that can be taken? Something? Anything?

Thank you for all your responses!

There is another oral med you can take called Femara (I think the generic is called Letrozole). I was prescribed it during one cycle where I had no response at all to the Clomid. It's supposed to have the same effect as Clomid and I think a lot of women have fewer side effects from it (I don't remember if I did or not).
