[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]20:47 Wow.  Do you mind sharing your clinic name?  I can't believe that after a meeting with your RE he/she wasn't willing to let you try the protocol you had researched OR that the clinic didn't find it strange when you had 3 follicles on a natural cycle.

What you did is essentially call the shots on your medication doses using the office for monitoring and appropriate timing of your trigger.  This is very different than what the OP is suggesting.  If you had developed 6 follicles you would have been able to make an informed decision about cancelling the IUI.[/quote]

20:47 here, I didn't see that part in OP original post about the no monitoring.  So what I did was different.  I don't want to list the clinic's name, let's just say that their may be considered the 2nd best clinic in the area.

They probably would have used the protocol I researched, they just wanted to charge me another $2500 to do so, and I wasn't down for that--not after I had done all the research.  Not sure why they didn't find it strange regarding the 3 follicles--I'm a cynic, I think it was about the money.  I think because I was doing a little old $250 natural cycle, they just weren't fully engaged.  I know that's sad to say, but that's just how I feel. I think for the patients who are not spending the big bucks (for IVF) you don' get as much attention.

[b]But back to OP's original topic,[/b] I definitely would use Clomid or Femara un-monitored.  Especially if you have been on it before.  In my above scenario I upped my dose to 150mg day 3-7 (instead of 5-9)  because that's what the RE who specialized in infertility for big mama's recommended.

Good luck to all.

P.S. Although Google is not a replacement for being under supervised medical care, there is a wealth of information out there regarding infertility (some good, some bad).  Do yourselves and your bank account a favor and research.  I knew/know that I needed to loose weight before getting pregnant.  I knew that weight could be a factor in not getting pregnant, but I don't think my RE put in the time to research what protocol changes needed to be made based on my weight, which cost me money.  Which circles back to OP's reason for wanting to try something without supervision--wanting to save money.[/quote]
