I can't see why minimal stim IVF would be better than regular IVF, but we will be doing NCIVF which avoids the multiple medications which for me seems like the best option.

Absolutely! Especially for those who only want one child and do not want to deal with the possiblility of extra embryos in teh freezer!

Totally agree with you about the progesterone, I've taken the supps and had such bad PMS like symptoms that I knew it didn't work long before the blood test.
Vitamin D
I've been reading a lot about vitamin D deficiancy being linked to infertility, should I get tested with my family practice doctor? What's the difference between D3 and the stuff in most multi vits?See More

Such a great question! ICSI - or intracytoplasmic sperm injection - is a very useful technique during IVF that traditionally was used for couples with very low sperm count or with a history of no fertilization during IVF. However,…

You might want to check out this blog by Dr. Gordon and if you feel strongly that you do not want ICSI then discuss it with your RE.

I think it depends on how long you have been trying and all factors with you. Basically if you have never been pregnant and your DH has never gotten anyone pregnant then your RE will recommend ICSI so you will be guaranteed to have some eggs…

Thanks for sharing this post, I used to spend a lot of time on that IF board and others but I find it sometimes makes me more anxious about the whole ttc process.
Dominion Fertility replied to Anonymous's discussion 'Nat cycle IVF with Metformin'
You should give the metformin 3-6 months to work, and we recommend gradually increasing the dose to 1500 XR taken once a day, preferably at dinnertime. Good Luck
Nat cycle IVF with Metformin
Hello, I have PCOS and have been taking metformin for 2 months in the hopes that I will get a normal cycle. I just read the blog about PCOS patient doing NCIVF, I would really like to give that a try since we have male factor as well, but I was wondering how long I have to be on the medication before it works?See More

Would NCIVF be an option if my cycles are 32-35 days in length? I have been told I have PCOS but I do get my period.

Hello Anonymous,
Your story sounds like mine. However, I am currently 19weeks pregnant yesterday. I am having a girl. My husband not only had low sperm count but low everything. I did not have insurance to cover IVF. I went to another fertility…
Dr. Andrea Reh replied to Anonymous's discussion 'Clomid and IUI'
Hello and welcome to Fertile Grounds. These follicle sizes are most certainly normal early in a Clomid cycle. It sounds like you just need some more time for us to see how your ovaries are responding to the medication, particularly if…
Robin Webb R.N. replied to Anonymous's discussion 'Clomid and IUI'
The goal for ovulation induction is one dominant follicle to emerge, and it sounds like you are on track. Sometimes it can take longer for patients with PCOS so hang in there, and good luck with tomorrow's scan.

Low count sperm count
We are trying to decide between NCIVF or regular IVF for our next step. The only thing identified wrong with us is a low sperm count (12 million) which doesn't seem like a low number to me, but I'm not an expert. We have done 3 IUI's without success, and our insurance doesn't cover either type of IVF so what should we do?See More
