Re: INFERTILITY: Amennorhea Please Help!

My first cycle was cancelled, my doctor was trying to figure out the
right dose of medicine. I produce a lot of eggs, hyperstimulating is a
risk. I was on follistim during this cycle, which is why we switched to
Menopur, since it contains more LH. I also have to be primed with
estrogen before each cycle. The last three cycles were good, I just had
a BFN. My doctor thinks I should have been pregnant these last three
times and that there may be something else going on, which is why she is
thinking we should start in-vitro...in fact, she said my last cycle was
a perfect IVF cycle.
I am 31 and I haven't really tried to put on weight, although with all
the hormones I have been on, weight gain has been a side effect.
