    • 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.

    • Little Love

      From StGerard Friday

      How are you doing? Thank you for thinking of me. I am trying to stay positive but it is so hard. I have not received a phone call in regards to my transfer yet. I am pretty sure it will be tomorrow if any of the embryos make it. It was a really bad cycle with very poor sperm as well. Completely different than five months ago. God has a plan. I am praying. Hope you are great!

    • Close Infertility
      Type: Hormonal Disorders

      I 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

      Treatments

      Follistim Too Soon to Tell
      no side effects really. one good follicle several small ones.
      Synthroid Working / Worked
      not sure if it is solving the whole thyroid problem but did bring down my TSH
      Ganirelex Too Soon to Tell
      starting it this cycle
    • 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.
