didnt respond to femara, whats next?
The doc said something about injectibles- anyone know which ones? I have another sono Tuesday to see if I just needed more time for the femara to work. Tia

Re: didnt respond to femara, whats next?
I have PCOS and needed a few more days, but I did respond. I cried when there was a follicle. Little did i know where my iF journey would take me. If you start injectibles, it will most likely be gonal-f or follistim. They are basically the same. You will be on a super low dose, so you don't over produce follicles. If I remember correctly, you have PCOS?

Re: didnt respond to femara, whats next?
Like Daisy said, the injection will be gonal-f or follistim most likely.
It's REALLY not a big deal and so many people have success once they add injections to the mix. I actually got pregnant last year on femara and gonal-f (and it was NOT in any way related to how we lost him!!)

Re: didnt respond to femara, whats next?
its pretty common to not respond to femara/clomid alone. injectables (gonal-F or follistim) although they seem scary are SOO much better. they are a bit more controllable and predictable. very few people do not respond to them and its usually people specifically with high FSH. i promise, after one shot, its soooo not a big deal.
