Hi Sam,

Thank you for your response. These are my stats

Glucose fasting 91 ml/dL Insulin 9.8uU/mL prolactin 11ng/mL DHAE Sulphate 271 ug/dL TSH 2.6 ulU/mL FSH 6.0 progesterone serum 58 estradial 30 pg/mL

I am 32 yrs old. I am not overweight (5' 2" 130lbs) and have a faint mustach most of the times and have been ttc for the last 6 years. With clomid and u/s in most months has shown mutiple follicles, but none that would never grow to the required size. I tried Repronex with IUI last year 2 times and 1st time had too many follicles, so we had to skip that month nd then the next time (Mar) I got pg but m/c in 6 weeks. I have just undergone ovearian drilling in Sept and had my periods naturally in oct and nov. Dec I just spotted. I dont care about the expense but I do care about the health of the baby. I am scared about the reactions of Lupron and the fact that the "Victims ..." website says that it is a X drug not to be used for infertility. Should I refuse to take it. Should I consult another doc. Should I trust my doc and go ahead according to what she says. I really want to do something this cycle. I would really appreciate any advise.

Thanks so much again for your help.

Samina
