Hello,
Thank you for responding to my post. You are correct I have primary
amenorrhea. I have always been underweight, but never have
overexercised...just born this way. I tried follistim for one cycle,
but it didn't help me. The Menopur that I am on is working and provides
me enough of all the hormones I need. Do you mind me asking how many
cycles it took for you to get pregnant? I am just trying to figure out
if we should try one more cycle, before we do in-vitro.
Thanks for your help!
