Trying to Get Pregant

Hi there-

Sorry to hear that you are struggling with this. My friend went through this too and she eventually got pregnant with the clomid, but at the max dose. Her doctor put her on Glucophage/ Metformin too. This is what your doc gave you that is making you sick, right? IF so, there is a type that is made to prevent the sick feeling. It is called Glucophage/ Metformin ER (or XR). Less medicine is delivered at one time thus preventing the sick feeling. Try this as it may be the trick that you are looking for. It helped my friend. :)

Good luck.

Are your cycles regular? Were you previously ovulating? I think if you are producing zero eggs that is not a good sign and I'm sorry to say, you may already be in premature ovarian failure, especially given your family history. Quantity and quality of eggs are one of the major reasons women cannot get pg. If you are producing no eggs WITH clomid, no natural remedies are going to help. You may have to move to donor eggs. I'm so sorry, I wish I could offer you some more encouragement, but I have been going through infertility treatmments for two years - first with my own eggs and now with donor egg - and I have seen this over and over again in my support groups - low egg quality/quantity. I hope I am wrong, but I can't imagine why else you would be producing no eggs at all.

Editing because I didn't read carefully enough the first time. I am concerned that your doc put you on meds before waiting for bloodwork results. It sounds like you would be better served by a fertility specialist- expecially if you are entering menopause. That way you don't waste time.

Are you seeing your obgyn? If so, you may wish to request a referral to see a Reproductive Endocrinologist. No disrespect to your doctor, but given the information you've provided us you might wish to seek the expertise of someone who specializes in RE and works exclusively with those types of patients/issues. It would be like if you were having issues with breastfeeding - while you certainly could enlist the aid of your obgyn, you would likely get better results by seeing a lactation consultant. Good luck to you!
