Hey, I have a question, I went for my dr's visits and my first FSh level was 1.8 and my estergon was 326,,,next visit FSH 6.5 and Estergon 204, Does anyone know if these levels are normal. I had a HSF this morning both tubes look good. Dr said the Clomid does not seemed to be working sd we will try the injectible drugs. Does anyone know what drugs that will be used? Does anyone know if these levels are normal? How important is my Estergon level to conceive?

It has been 4 years since I did all of that. The injectible I had was an HCG shot to release the eggs once the chlomid produced them. Sorry I couldn;t be of more help.

Sorry I don't know anything about hormone levels but I just finished my first round of clomid and I've been trying for a year. So I just wanted to say and I know how hard this can be.

I tried two different kinds of injectables after the dr found out that Clomid didn't work for me. The first one I tried was Bravelle. I had to give myself those shots. But that didn't work so I was put on an intramuscular needle shot..I think it was Follitism. I did that for just a few cycles (3 cycles..I think) until I took a break from it.

Wannabe, How expensive was the Bravelle and how old are you?

Abbi, I did Gonal-F shots and then a shot of HCG to release the eggs. Our insurance paid for almost nothing, but I can't remember about the HCG shot, I think it was around $100 each time we did it. As for the Gonal-F, I had a fabulous fertility dr and his nurse, who had also been through all of this, understood what it was like for us having to pay all of this out of pocket. So, she found a pharmacy who was willing to donate a one month supply of the Gonal-F shots. If we had paid for them, one month would have ran us around $2000.
Also, another injectible that I have heard of people using is Preg-nel.
Hope this helps.

Also, Abbi, I was 32 when we did this and when I got pregnant. When I had Emily, I had just turned 33.
