      From lvnikita September 6

      I completely understand being run down. It takes me the whole weekend to recoop from the week of work. Really looking forward to the holidays. I have to work over Christmas break (I have 30 add on days) but no one will be around so it will be a bit better, I hope...less hectic. keep me updated on how you are doing.

      I am bypassing the ob and going straight to the specialist. I spoke with the same doctor who worked with me when I lost my twins in Dec. I just can't deal with two doctors at the same time, telling me different things. I am going to the same doctor that delivered my REs babies... How are you feeling? Since being back to work, I am so run down.... ughh...

      From MirandaM September 2

      Hello...When I read your discussion it was like dejavue. When I was 3 mos preg (my boys are now 9) I bled when i was working out. I lifted weights at the time and I increased them at this particular work out. I started to bleed...not profusely but enough. I was so devastated thet I had killed my baby. It turned out everything was fine and that it was normal. I quit lifting weights because It was too rough of a thought of miscarrying because of something that could be prevented. Everything went pretty good after that

      Hi-Read your post on the twins board. Sorry for the scare. I hope all will remain well. I am pregnant with twins as well and am trying to find a good ob/gyn. Can I ask who you are using? Hang in there and keep me updated on how you are doing. How is the new school year going for you?

    • Close Infertility
      Type: Hormonal Disorders

      I have been diagnosed with low FSH and have been trying to get pregnant for over a year now. Finally starting my treatments. We started with Clomid and that did not work so we are going to be doing Invitro, May is our harvest/plant month.

      Treatments

      Clomid Not Working
      Didn't work and gave me horrible migranes. Gave up and moved to IVF.
      Folic Acid Somewhat Helpful
      On Foltx/Pre-natals, make my hair grow like crazy!
      Follistim Working / Worked
      I just started the injections, I really haven't had any side effects other than a dull head ache shortly afterwards. It is mixed with Menopur so that may be the cause of the headaches. Made my ovaries the size of tennis balls because I produced 62 follicles so it definitly worked for me! Recovery sucked.
      hCG (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin) Too Soon to Tell
      Will be using this after the clomid works and takes effect.
      In Vitro Fertilization Working / Worked
      Pregnant on the first try!
      Lupron Working / Worked
      Ovulated perfectly and of my 62 follicles they retrieved 38 eggs, 32 were viable and 29 ended up fertilizing. Everything worked great, no side effects other than bloating.
      Progesterone Too Soon to Tell
      Holy hormonal craziness!!! I went crazy on this when I took 10 mg. When the time comes with my Clomid Cycle my doctor wants me to take 100 mg four times a day to make my uterine lining "fluffly" I feel bad for my husband lol
      Progesterone Cream Too Soon to Tell
      As part of the IVF process I will be taking the Vagnial Supositories with injections and pills... oh joy.
      Repronex Working / Worked
      I took it with the Follistim and they both were very succsessful. Just made me a little tired, but I took injections at night so it didn't effect me that much.
