Anyone started out with Clomid without success?
Did any of you take Clomid before trying IUI or other more invasive treatments? I start Clomid for the first time this cycle and I am curious as to how many people have tried it first without success and then progressed on to more aggressive treatments like Injections, IUI, or IVF
Thanks :)

1st 2 pregnancies were on 1st cycle of clomid 50mg, 3rd pregnancy had to go up to 100 mg to ovulate and took 3 cycles to get pregnant--all these were pre op. Post op ovulated on my own.
But my identical twin sister did not ovulate on Clomid at any dose and ended up with injections and IUI to get her 3 kids.
I did 2 rounds of 50 mg of clomid and one round of 100 mg of clomid and I ovulated each time but had a higher progesterone level after the 100 mg round. However, I didn't concieve after the 3rd round and my OB would only give it to me 3 times. I only have one tube due to a previous ectopic pregnancy so that could have had something to do with not getting pregnant also if it was on the wrong side. I got pregnant the first month I did injects with IUI. I want to try clomid again for baby number 2. Maybe clomid with IUI... I'm so worried about having multiples with the injects! We were actually pregnant with twins and lost one early on from the injects.
Good luck!
Sorry- big hug! Praying for a good visit tomorrow.

I did about 4-5 cycles of clomid, up to the highest dosage and it didn't result in pregnancy. I only ovulated once but didn't result in pregnancy. I used Letrizole for 3 months I did have small follicles but it didn't result in pregnancy. Now Hubby and I aren't doing anything. We are taking a break from trying.
