Guys. I'm so sad. My RE said the IUI is a no go. I had only one good follicle (26mm-probably too big) and one small one (11mm). My lining was at SEVEN. 7mm?!? It's never been that thin, ever. My follicle count and lining thickness have decreased....and my FSH went up? Coincidence? He said it's not worth it, and that we need to try on our own this cycle. Oh good! Another 110% effort, and a TWW with a shitty ending. So excited! I wasn't even fucking temping this cycle!!
When I asked him about the FSH/AMH he seemed not worried whatsoever. I'm starting to get upset. He is not being aggressive enough with me. I told him to not put me on clomid this last round, to let me do injects and he all but said no.
If I do another round in Feb, I'm doing injects. Looks like I need to start turnin' tricks to pay for my IF treatments.
I'm sorry. If you're not responding appropriately to Clomid, he should have no problem starting you on injects next cycle, if that's what you want. Best of luck to you.

I am so sorry, hun. I do not understand why he is having issues moving you to injects. I did 3 cycles on Clomid and my RE was like we are moving on. I didn't get much choice in the matter. I had to take a part time job to cover treatments, read we are saving money right now. I feel you there. H and I joke that I may have to start turning tricks if things get stretched any thinner. So many ((Hugs)) love. Feel free to vent to me anytime, ok?
He said that next round I would be on a medication very similar to Clomid. It starts with a T, I cannot remember the name right now. But I just left the office and called and told them I want to do an injectable cycle. I'm sick of waiting around and we need to be more aggressive. Hopefully he can give the order for injectables, that way I can search all of the cheap fertility websites and maybe be able to find the medications on my own for a lot cheaper than what they would charge me there.
Do you think you should seek a second opinion, hun? The injects are SUPER expensive. Bleh. Let me know how cheap you find them for, I will need that hook up as well!!

In so sorry (((hugs))). A very, very common side effect of clomid is thinning your lining. It has a longer half life than many of the other fert drugs and back to back cycles can cause your lining to be crap.
If your RE is the one who did five cycles, especially after you asked to do something different, I would find another. Your doc needs to listen to your concerns.

I am so sorry. That sucks so mich! I am glad you are being proactive and asking for the injects. If your RE still says no is there anyone else in your area that could offer a second opinion? So much (((hugs))) and love being sent to you

To echo other lovely ladies...fuck! That is just the cherry on top, huh? I'm sorry your body isn't cooperating and fx'ing my fingers that the blanket mambo does the trick.
Oh honey, I'm so sorry. I've had those cycles and they really suck! I hope that he's on board for injects next cycle. If not, you may need a different RE. Many ((((HUGS)))) love!

Thank you guys for all the love. I'm mobile and at the grocery store right now but quickly I wanted to say that he is my second opinion I think that he is trying to be less aggressive because we are OOP for a lot of things. And I appreciate that, but it's time for me to take my IF to the next level.
You are all so kind and this is exactly why I came over. I love you guys so much and you really know the words to say to make me feel better.
