Hi Theresep, thanks for the welcome and support. Seems like we are in similar situations. I think the injections are with the IUI - and that will probably be my next course of action also. I'd like to try all options before considering IVF as I feel it will probably take alot out of you both physically and mentally and that's something I still need to prepare for. Good luck with your 1st cycle of clomid - my fingers are crossed for you.

Hi Emmalina, thanks for your well wishes. I think you're right about the age thing. I recall my first visit to FS, and after going through my options from Clomid to IVF, I remember him saying " Well if you really want a baby NOW, than IVF has the highest success rate of all the options". By saying NOW I think he was subtling trying to hint "you're 36 you know". Good luck at the FS tomorrow.

Taking clomid isn't too bad for me. The only real side effects have been hot flushes but I take the tablets at night so as to lessen the burden. I'm still charting my temperatures. Is anyone doing this as well? I've mixed feelings about temps because I read somewhere that if your temp was 37 deg and stayed that way from days CD26 on, then there was no need for a HPT as you were pregnant. Well I've been 37 deg on many occasions right up to and including the day AF arrives - so that blows that theory out of the water cause I aint pregnant yet.

Good luck to all!
