Hi,
Thanks for writing to HCM .
Fertomid is ovulation inducing agent. It means it helps your follicles to grow properly and mature . It also cause multiple follicles to grow. This increases the chances of conception.
I would suggest you to undergo follicular study which will tell you are ovulating properly or not. If your ovulation is proper you can continue min 3 cycles of fertomid.
If there is not adequate response to fertomid then you need to add fsh inj with that. But follicular study is must whenever you take fertility tablets.
I would suggest you to take hcg inj or leupride after discussing with your doctor when your follicle size is more then 19mm.
I wish you concieve with this . But if it fails then you need to get tubal patency test.
One more thing I want to suggest is you get your hormone test done if not done yet. Like thyroid profile, serum prolactin, fsh and Lh.
Hope I have been helpful .
Regards
