      From Beeker725 September 30

      I have been thinking about you. I read your journal entry and it always does feel good to do something nice for someone else (your Medopure comment). Glad you are taking some time off, and the acupuncture should help with making you feel more centered. I think of you often and hope to hear back from you soon!

      From suzypsz August 13

      i just read your journal and wanted to tell you how sorry i am. give your body and your brain a rest and think about if you really want to be a mother. if you do, then dont give up. try fertility or adoption or whatever works best for you. noone cares how you get there, just get there if that's what you truly want.

      Treatments

      Artificial Insemination Not Working
      1 IUI natural cycle and 1 IUI with meds (Clomid & Gonal F) - produced 5 good sized follicles but no pregnancy
      Clomid Somewhat Helpful
      Helps me produce more than one mature follicle each cycle.
      Estrogen Patch Not Working
      I used the Vivelle-Dot in my 2 ww & quit using it after I got my BFN - I then had a headache for over 2 weeks
      Femara Working / Worked
      Using it w/ this February IVF cycle - so far so good, less side effects than clomid - not as many hot flashes or crying spells - got 12 eggs this IVF cycle
      Folic Acid Working / Worked
      Taking prenatal vitamins and have been for over 3+ years. Now I find out that I need to take 5mg total while ttc & throughout pregnancy because of a MTHFR mutation - so in addition to prescription strength prenatal vitamins, I'm taking Folbic 2x a day

      Definitely increases the number of mature follicles I produce. Hot flashes are a side effect. I used Gonal-F
