Still hanging on

The success of this infertility treatment depends on the response of your body to the medication given to you. So don’t judge the procedure just because I feel awful with how it ended with mine. Who knows? This treatment will work on you.


Regarding the pain I feel during injections, I get used to it after many days of injecting. I survived 18 consecutive days of injections right in my belly. So don’t be afraid. Just make sure you follow your doctor’s instruction regarding the procedure. Do that and you’ll be doing fine.


Before we left the clinic, we discussed about Menopur which is an injectable also. She told us that perhaps one of the reasons why my eggs is not responding was because Puregon has only FSH (Follicle Stimulating Hormone). Whereas, Menopur have both follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), which helps stimulate egg production; and luteinizing hormone (LH), which helps the eggs mature and release (ovulate). For the nest treatment, we are considering to use Menopur.


This is one of the facts that I learned to accept. With my infertility issues, I accepted every possible way for me to conceive. I have no choice but to try this treatment. And I will give it another try soon as I have the financial resources to avail of this treatment. I still want to believe that my eggs will respond at a higher dose of Menopur.


Infertile couples need to know the reason why you are infertile. What causes your infertility? Discuss with your doctor other options for treatment. You also need to discuss the details of the treatment as well as the cost. There is plenty of information flooding the net. Search for other things your doctor does not usually discuss with you like your diet and other alternative medicines of herbs. If you have other illness, you have to discuss it with your doctor.

Good luck to your quest for fertility and pregnancy.
