What happens when Clomid doesn't work?

Question

Has anyone failed on Clomid? What was your RE next step?

Answer 1

Some women will move onto an injectable drug that will induce ovulation and that will not ruin your cervical mucus. Others will move on to IVF. When Clomid didn't work for me, I took a few months off the drugs and lo-and-behold, I got a BFP. So, sometimes it may just be a matter of leaving it up to nature. Best of luck to you!

Answer 2

The doctors will give you 3-5 rounds of clomid(depending on your doctor) then they will move you on to Injectables. then its Invitro. which is expensive so hopefully clomid or injectables will work.

Answer 3

clomid didnt work for me, my next step was invetro. good luck'

Answer 4

Femara would be the next step if you haven't tried it already. I'm currently on Femara cycle 2 after a LOT of failed clomid cycles.

Answer 5

I was on clomid for 9 cycles! (subfertility-we'd been trying for over 2 years unsuccessfully) they introduced a hcg shot (self administered on the day of LH surge) to help my ovaries release the egg (as previously, despite an LH surge i wasn't actually ovulating) anyway, that's all it took! i got pregnant on that 10th cycle. IUI is the next step after injectables. Good luck to you  

Answer 6

Injectables.  (I used Clomid, then pergonol, then metrodin.  Got pregnant on metrodin.)
