Re: INFERTILITY: CCCT Results - are mine abnormal

Dr. Gocial, Thank you for the information. This seems to be in line with what information I have gotten from my RE, where, my course of treatment seems to be - 1 or 2 months of Femara, 2 or 3 months of injectibles, then - move to IVF if no success. They are not telling me to do IVF right now, but definitely saying - if this is going to happen - this is your year.

Is there anything which could make my FSH levels inaccurate? Perhaps I'm just having difficulty accepting the numbers. I've been an athlete all of my life and have always maintained a healthy weight and have taken care of myself - so to hear that a part of my body is not healthy has been troubling. Could excessive stress make my levels rise artificially? If I had recently taken clomid, could that make my levels rise? (I had taken 2 rounds of clomid 2 cycles before the CCCT - meaning, if my ccct was in jan, I took clomid in sept & oct)
