I don't know about LUFS but there is a shot called an HCG trigger-

which does " force " ovulation if you have eggs that are ready-Since I

am convinced this is the root of my IF problems I can't wait to try

it and hopefully will be next week-It is a just one shot-not a whole

cycle.

Actually from what I have been told there is about the same chance of

multiples with Clomid and injectables-though with injectables you are

usually more closely monitored so if you have the chance of

multiples they can tell and stop the cycle-which they did last month

for me-I tried the Clomid for 3 months before I switched to

injectables but I was not monitored closely (frequent ultrasounds to

check the folllicle size plus blood tests to check hormone levels) so

I don't know why it didn't work for me-You might ask to try the

Clomid with just the HCG injjectable if you think ovualtion time may

be a problem-I wish I had!!

Yes-technically-It really depends on you and what the problem is-I

also think it is because you are more highly monitored-like I said

before-They know exactly what is happening all the time with your

body-You can still do this with Clomid-but the montioring does cost

more-

I hope I have not rambled on too much and that this helps!!

No necessarily injectables, just an hCG shot (which triggers

ovulation).

hCG triggers can be done on a natural cycle or a CLomid cycle, as

well as with injectables.

Some of us have . . . most women with MAs are not infertile, though.

With injectables, the problem is that you run a 20% risk of twins or

more. With Clomid, the risk is only 8%.

hCG.

Yes and no. It's better to give Clomid a decent trial before going

to all the expense and risk of injectables.

I think that depends on how you got it, through drug use or a disease

process.

You're welcome . . . though you should not take anything I say as

advice. I have no M.D. after my name :-)
