About Me
33, TTC 3 years. High FSH. Called it quits on Western Med for now. I found the discouragement too expensive. Trying desperately with herbs, supps, and healthy lifestyle. There is yet no vision of future without Baby and only a fleeting vision of Baby. IF is making me insane.

Close Infertility
Type: Hormonal DisordersI am 33 years old. Not sure which category I fall into... I am hypothyroid and have an elevated FSH at 13. I just started injections of Follistim. Tomorrow is day 6 and I am going in in the am to check my blood and follicles (I think).
Treatments
- Follistim Too Soon to Tell
- Gonig in for my first blood work and exam tomorrow. I started on 125 IU for the first 5 days and will soon go to ovidrel.
- Artificial Insemination Considering
- Basal Thermometer Working / Worked
- interesting. i use a fertility monitor also, but wanted to see if there were irregularities in my temp.
- Folic Acid Too Soon to Tell
- taking it for 1 yr.
- Follistim Somewhat Helpful
- worked to stim ovaries, got as many as 6 follies for timed intercourse, but never got pg.
- Ganirelex Too Soon to Tell
- Starting it this cycle
- hCG (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin) Somewhat Helpful
- i ovulate on my own so i didn't understand why i needed this, but i did ovulate on schedule the following day. also 2 out of 3 times got a uti and had pain so bad could barely BD.
- HSG (Hysterosalpingography) Working / Worked
- no blockage or anatomical issue. small cervix was deemed a non-issue.
- In Vitro Fertilization Considering
- Ovulation Predictor Kit Working / Worked
- seems to be working except i haven't gotten pregnant. It does tell me almost every month when I supposedly ovulate.
- Apitherapy (Honey Bee Products) Somewhat Helpful
- First month on it my FSH dropped from 17 to 9! Next month was 12.5 then 14 so I am not sure if it is still working or not.
- Acupuncture Working / Worked
- I feel great.
Close Hypothyroidism
My husband and I went in to a fertility clinic July 28, 2008 only to have my TSH test at 5 and then 10 2 weeks later. I am finally at TSH 3 after figuring my dosage at 75 mcg of Levothyroxine. We just started fertility treatments and are hoping that the thyroid was the main cause of my infertility.
Treatments
- Synthroid Working / Worked
- First 2-weeks I felt amazing. Now I still need 1-2 c of coffee during the day and 9+ hours sleep at night.
- Dietitian Consult Somewhat Helpful
- Definitely changing my diet makes me feel better but I still struggle with a varying metabolism and trying to eat enough to support my fertility without gaining excess weight.
Open Trying To Conceive

Open Adoption
Me and my hubby have been trying to conceive for 2 years and are interested in the possibility of adoption in our future to complete our family. If I thought the process was simpler, we would adopt now. I know this is a difficult topic with many diverse opinions and I want to start learning.
