First round of injectables

I've been TTC for almost a year now. I have done 3 rounds of clomid & found that I am clomid resistant. So my RE is starting me on injectables this month. I will be taking Femara & Gonal-F with 2 trigger shots. I was just wondering if anyone was on the same meds & got a the first round?

I was on very similar meds, and did get a BFP on the first try. We did Femara, Menopaur and Trigger. Currently 32 weeks with twins. Best of luck to you..it can work on the first try!

Hi! I am on my second cycle with follistim. I know that some people do get pg on their first cycle of injectables, but it is not as common as the second or third. I had all my hopes set in last month and was pretty devestated when it didn't happen. My RE says its more likly to happen within 3. I hope it works for you in your 1st... I was not that lucky! I am CD 7 now... hopefully we both get BFP's this month!

Wanted to also tell you I had no luck with Clomid either. I did 3 cycles and each one totally jacked up my cycle. Femara worked exactly as it should for me. Again, good luck! I'll be thinking of you!

I also took Femara for IUI for 3 cycles. Although I didnt get pg, it did its job stimulating my follicles. Im currently doing my first cycle of IVF. Good Luck to you!

Yay! That sounds great! We did 4 rounds of Clomid and then got our BFP with the first round of Follistim! It's definitely possible and hope it is true for you.

I just got my bfp on my first round of GONAL-F (150 for 9 days), ovidrel trigger.
I did 4 rounds of clomid (2 w/iui) and 1 round of Femara w/iui and those didn't work for me.
