    • Close Infertility

      ttc for 4+ years. Me: Unexplained infertility DH - Good Numbers

      Treatments

      Artificial Insemination Not Working
      1 IUI natural cycle and 1 IUI with meds (Clomid & Gonal F) - produced 5 good sized follicles but no pregnancy
      Clomid Somewhat Helpful
      Helps me produce more than one mature follicle each cycle.
      Estrogen Patch Not Working
      I used the Vivelle-Dot in my 2 ww & quit using it after I got my BFN - I then had a headache for over 2 weeks
      Femara Working / Worked
      Using it w/ this February IVF cycle - so far so good, less side effects than clomid - not as many hot flashes or crying spells - got 12 eggs this IVF cycle
      Folic Acid Working / Worked
      Taking prenatal vitamins and have been for over 3+ years. Now I find out that I need to take 5mg total while ttc & throughout pregnancy because of a MTHFR mutation - so in addition to prescription strength prenatal vitamins, I'm taking Folbic 2x a day
      Follistim Working / Worked
      Definitely increases the number of mature follicles I produce. Hot flashes are a side effect. I used Gonal-F
      Ganirelex Working / Worked
      Took it for my IVF cycle in Nov, Feb, May and July. Works.
      hCG (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin) Working / Worked
