Planning a Baby  Discussion Forum

Dear Pace,
Thanks for letting me know about the website. I will go through this website.

My FSH and Estradiol test was done on cycle day2. No other test. It's been 8 months I have found about it. I wasn't immediately ready to go the India for the treatment. It took me four months to coming out of this shell and now I am seriously thinking for IVF within next three months.
My Gyeno doesn't seem to concern about my lower Projestron level. According to her it's low but nothing to worry. Even I also did research on internet about this. It's low to conceive.
I want to try next cycle with Clomid medication. Will it help me? Please give me your opinion about this.
Do u have any idea if I wait for some time for IVF will have less success rate and will my ovary be more reserved?
Share your knowledge with me.
Luv
Anupama



pace replied. I am sorry that you had a bad time for 4 months and it's good that you want to start something.
Well, considering your age in mind, i would definatley say to move fast in your procedures. Age definatley matters. If you have diminsihed ovaries, i wouldn't think clomid works.instead i think it's better to take letrozole/Femera which is a close cousin of clomid and better than clomid. but make sure that after you start your medication, u'r doc should monitor very closley as you dont want to miss any chances.even before starting the medication i would recommend to check you harmone levels (LH,FSH,Progestrone,Prolactin,Estradiol) again as they change every month, and at the time of ovulation you have to check FSH, LH and progestrone one more time to see if the levels r good, if they r not u'r doc can give u some supossitaries to help you.
Instead of these, take Shots as they are more efficient than medications, if you feel comfortable taking shots for ovulation (expensive if not covered by insurance, approx-3000$)i would recommend them but check with u'r doc.In any case you need to check u'r harmone levels very regularly.
definatley dont waste any time, I am very sorry to tell you but clock is ticking fast for u. If 100 mg clomid dont work/5mg of letrozole dont work then move over fast dont waste anytime thinking may be next cycle or so...I hope u understand what i am trying to tell. I dont want to discourage u at all. but i am very positive that if you move in full speed and monitor u'r bosy closley, u'll definatley hold a baby in u'r arms, i am definate.
God bless you honey and all the best.

Luv,
pace
