      Type: Ovarian Issues

      I am 41 years old. I had my first miscarriage at 31 and my second at 33. At that point, there was no reason determined. Since then, I have remarried. We have been trying to conceive for about almost 2 years. My husband has a varicocele, which is being treated with Clomid, and seems to be working. I have been diagnosed with Insulin Resistence. Every month that clicks by just pushes me further and further into the sadness. My husband tries to understand and does pretty well.

      Treatments

      Adoption Considering
      We have discussed the possibility and probably will if IVF doesn't work.
      Artificial Insemination Not Working
      We've done four rounds now, the last two with injectibles. All have failed.
      Clomid Working / Worked
      I did a round of this back in Jan or Feb. It didn't work. My husband is using this for his sperm count. It seems to be working for him since his counts are much better.
      Folic Acid Too Soon to Tell
      I just started taking folic acid this month
      Follistim Somewhat Helpful
      Increased follicles - last cycle ovulated 8 out of 15 - but no pregnancy
      Ganirelex Somewhat Helpful
      Increased follicles but no pregnance
      hCG (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin) Somewhat Helpful
      We used it in our first round of IUI in August. It didn't work.
      HSG (Hysterosalpingography) Somewhat Helpful
      I also have a septate uterus. I had this done to determine if there is enough room to carry. According to my doctor, there is.
      In Vitro Fertilization Too Soon to Tell
      Will be doing our first - and probably our only - round in April.
      Metformin Working / Worked
      I have been on this since March. According to my doctor, it is working because all of my levels are now in the normal range.
      Ovulation Predictor Kit Not Working
      We've been using them since December.
      Progesterone Not Working
      I used it after each IUI. It also screwed up my hormone levels after the first one so that we had to skip a month. But, it did help to thicken my lining.
      Repronex Somewhat Helpful
      Increased number of mature follicles
    • Close Pregnancy After Loss/Infertility

      Well, I have been TTC for 2 years. We have done a round of Clomid, 2 IUI's with Tamoxifin pill and HCG trigger, and 2 IUI's with injections. We were scheduled for IVF in April. Surprise, surprise!! We just found out that we are pregnant on our own!!

    • Open Health Care Reform

      I am a member of the Infertility Community. I have seen so many people put into debt because treatments are not covered by medical insurance. I, myself, am having issues trying to figure out how we can move forward with our treatments without cashing in our retirement funds. It just isn't fair that a medical condition such as this isn't covered except in a few states. So, I am here to see what can be done about it.
