Dear KrystaB - this is probably the wrong forum, but as an REI we are also gynecologists. I would recommend that you stop taking the depoprovera. If your first injection was three months ago, it will still potentially take another 2-5 months to leave your system. There are plenty of other choices for birth control - the oral contraceptive is one example. The ...
Dear mary2-
Chances with clomid are not great, but as it is much cheaper and much less invasive than IVF, worth an initial try. Success with clomid and IUI for someone who is 39 is at best 5%-7% each month.
Regarding IVF, at age 39 the problem is that your chances of going home with a baby from an IVF cycle are only in the 20%-22% range, and the best wa...
Dear animavibrante -
It is difficult for me to answer this without seeing the studies, but my guess is that if there is nothing obvious, like a large septum or a definite fibroid in the uterine cavity, that a uterine abnormality is unlikely to be causing your miscarriages. Arcuate, bicornuate, or T-Shaped uteruses are commonly seen, and although a bit cont...
Dear hopetobemom-
I cannot say what the discharge is without being able to examine. Day 3 embryos probably implant 4 days or so after transfer, and day 5 or day 6 embryos within two days. So I do not think this jeopardizes implantation and is not caused by lack of or loss of pregnancy
In the United States, these must be prescribe by a health care provider. The prescription can be submitted over the internet.
If you were on lupron, it may take awhile for your periods to get back on track and for ovulation to resume. Please try to be patient - it sounds like you have some very good quality embryos and it is probably best to give your hypothalamus, pituitary, ovaries, and uterus a chance to recover from the hormonal manipulation of a fresh IVF cycle. There are many ...
Dear Ame-chan:
Infertility and miscarriages are not problems that are inherited. Your chances of being infertile when you are in your 20s and ready to try to conceive are only 10% (the odds of infertility increase as you get older). As long as your periods are regular, we know you are ovulating. I would not recommend a hysterosalpingogram xray - like all t...
I would not recommend laparoscopy yet. First, after only four months of ovulation, you just may not have tried long enough yet. But before going to laparoscopy, you should have a sperm count, and an x-ray test called a hysterosalpingogram to see if your wife's fallopian tubes are open. If these tests have already been done and are normal, then I would co...
Hi there - if you are taking clomid because you do not ovulate regulary (if this is the case you will have very few or no periods) then your chances of getting pregnant with clomid are probably 25% the first month, and about 40% after three months, and you do not need intrauterine insemination.
If you are being given clomid and the gonadotropin shot for un...
Dear Rosie72 -
If you have antibodies to chlamydia, this means that at some point you had chlamydia, but it is impossible to predict when - could have been 10 or 15 years ago, or last month. Cultures do not pick up all cases of chlamydia. There is no harm in being on doxycycline in case the infection is recent. Chlamydia does not mimic herpes - chlamydia i...
