Re: Third round of Clomid with Insemination...From: BARBRA (anonymous@obgyn.net)Tue, 10 Sep 2002 18:49:28 -0500 (CDT)
KAREN... I TOOK 6 CYCLES OF CLOMID, ONLY TO DISCOVER MY "CERVICAL MUCUS" WAS BASICALLY ELIMINATED BY THE CLOMID (A SIDE EFFECT OF WHICH NO DOCTOR HAD TOLD ME UNTIL IT WAS TOO LATE). ANYWAY, MY DOC JUST TOLD ME THAT ARTIFICIAL INSEM. IS NOT VERY EFFECTIVE (10-15% CHANCE), BUT IF YOUR INSURANCE DOESN'T COVER INVITRO, IT COULDN'T HURT TO TRY... UNLESS YOU'RE LATE 30'S. AT THAT POINT, AS MY DOC TOLD ME, YOU'RE RUNNIGN LOW ON TIME. HE TOLD ME THAT, IN HIS CLINIC, IF YOU'RE OVER 40 AND DOING IVF, THEY DON'T EVEN LET YOU USE YOUR OWN EGGS, SINCE THE QUALITY IS SO POOR AFTER YOU'RE 40. SO IF YOU'RE CLOSE TO THAT AGE, I'D OPT TO GO STRAIGHT FOR IVF, WHICH AT SOME CLINICS HAS A 60% CHANCE OF A BABY PER TRY. MOST CLINICS WILL LET YOU TRY THREE TIMES FOR ABOUT 25 THOUSAND, AND IF YOU DON'T CONCEIVE, WILL GIVE YOU YOUR MONEY BACK. I'M A PCOS PATIENT, ON GLUCOPHAGE (AS A LAST RESORT) AND WILL TRY IVF IF THERE'S NO PREGNANCY BY JANUARY 1. HOPE THIS HELPS, BARBRA
