I got up to 75mg and I was done. We went to an RE. He put me on the highest dosage (150mg) and I O'ed!!! I was so excited, but after 4 months, we opted to do IUI. We only did 2 IUIs, both of them with the result of BFN. We took a year long break. Going back next month to the RE and do more IUIs. Good luck Sweetie!

With no help at all, it's normal for it to take 6 months to get pregnant, you've only been at this for only 2 months actually ovulating so why give up? The good news is you respond to Clomid, give it a few more months, no need to resort to IUI so quickly.Jesicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15320801593860983896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7903619518074890439.post-88939157390160294152012-04-19T15:05:22.006-04:002012-04-19T15:05:22.006-04:00I am so sorry.
