Re: fertility drugs

[Guest guest]

Hi Kathy. I just finished by second IUI. First with Clomid and

Repronex and the secomd with Clomid and Pergonal. My RE said the

injectable drugs also help build up your lining and after the

numerous ultrasounds my lining is perfect so I don't know if it's the

drugs or not. Plus, my RE tries not to produce more than 2 eggs for

IUI so the chance of multiples isn't so high. My RE OK'd the drugs

because I'm 33 and he says it's best to get pregnant wihtin the 4-6

months after surgery before any scarring may return. Hope this

helps.....

So kelly, are you scar free? Just wondering as I may

start ;fertility shots in a few weeks. Wondering why us with AS

still have a hard time getting pg after our surgeries. Esp. if your

lining is good. Don't know if IUI goes along with the injectible

hormones or if you're allowed to try on your own? I heard clomid

interferes with lining formation but injectibles

helps.

Cheryl. My RE said my uterus was scar free for now however it may

rescar in 4-6 months. Never ends! I did my IUI was injectibles and

he did inseminate me both times then told us we could also try on our

own after. He feels it's better to inseminate after doing all the

drugs, money and time invested...why not give the sperm the best shot

by washing them and putting them right where they should be. I did

have my FSH levels checked for my egg quality and they came back a

bit higher than normal of under 10, 12.9, than before so he thinks my

egg supply isn't a high as it once was so that may be anothr reason

for not getting pregnant so quickly like we used too. I was scared I

may be hitting ealry menopause so he's watching my levels closely and

thinks I have a few more good years till another egg drop at 35, just

2 years away...lucky me! Anyway, the fertility shots are not a big

deal. First cycle is the hardest when they are determining the

correct doasge and you're getting used to the shots. Second time is

a breeze! If we don't get pregnant with another cycle and a rest

cycle then we'll move onto IVF. No idea why some of us have such a

hard time...maybe it because our bodies keep getting put threw so

mucah. My doctor did the Clomid to help develope a good quality egg

and then the injectables to help with the lining and produce more

than one egg. Clomid on it's own I was told does effect the lining

however they are benefits to using it with injectables if needed. I'm

glad I was given the drugs so I can increase my chances of a

pregnancy, like having two months of trying in one.

Kathy,

You asked how many are/or will be using fertility drugs to try and

concive. We will most likely be doing IVF hear in a few months if my

lining is resonable. But we had other infertility issues(poor sperm

motility) before ashermans for many years. We have been married 15

years and I am 38 and my husband is 42. It does seem that alot of us

had other infertility issues before ashermans.

Love,

Amy
