I'm out for this past cycle. AF showed her ugly face yesterday on CD25 (11 DPI).
So today went back to specialist to have baseline u/s. I'm CD2. This cycle plan is 100mg Clomid CD3-9. CD10 have u/s check follies & Ovidrel trigger when mature. Then do back to back IUIs, 1st IUI 12hrs past trigger & 2nd IUI 36 hrs past trigger.
Has anyone taken Clomid for more days than usual 3-7 or 5-9 & what timing worked for IUIs? Only difference for me from last cycle is I'll be on Clomid 2 extra days but at same dosage. Only had 3 follies last time & hope to have more this time. Any suggestions? Don't think they want to do injectables yet, but I told them I can only afford this cycle & 1 more if it doesn't work.
I'm not feeling optimistic since my 45th birthday is in 2 days... my eggs now have canes, false teeth, & wearing Depends cause they're so old!

I just wish I had more money then I would just do IVF where my chances of success are the greatest. But due to costs, it is not an option, so hoping doing B2B IUIs and taking Clomid & using trigger will work...

I am already taking CoQ10, 200 mg a day and have been taking it for about 1 1/2 months now. Also I take prenatal vitamins, omegas, inositol, and calcium.

I had one iui timed at 36 hours exactly for both of my bfp cycles. Not sure if your dr would consider a mini stim protocol for you next cycle if this one doesn't work. It's just one added injectable med and that cost me the least of all of it (with having to have 3 ultrasounds the last cycle!). Anyway, that was the winning combo for me - it worked 2 out of 3 tries and wouldn't add more than about $120 to your next try! If you have any questions about it, you can pm me oh, and I think doing one at 12 hours also, is a good idea because experts say that the older the eggs, the quicker their outer shell hardens - meaning they may still be around at the 12 or 24 hour mark just like they always were, but the outer shell may be too hard for the swimmers to penetrate by then because of their age. So I think your plan is good!
Anyway, even with canes and depends, they can still get to the same place eventually and will still be attractive to some rosy eyed swimmer - let's hope this is their time to shine!!
