I am wondering if anyone was successful with Lupron for a cycle? I ttc naturally for nearly 6 months with Dr. Check. I had one very successful month and Dr. Check thinks he should have had me take the HCG shot, but he didn't. My E2 after that month never rose and I was diagnosed with Asherman's after 6 months on this protocol. My asherman's surgery was a success in January and I decided to move (somewhat reluctantly) to DE out of fear of developing asherman's again and due to recent cervical dysplasia issues. My first cycle with CNY was canceled because the donor never started her shots. I was taking shots in the stomach for nearly 14 days and yet she never took one. Anyway, my blood work immediately after stopping the lupron showed that my E2 was 353 (the highest it has ever gotten before with Dr. Check was 157) so what gives??? I did not have any follicles, but my fsh level was 3. I had a repeat blood and u/s a week letter after starting another cycle (this time with Cooper in NJ) and they said that again my E2 was 200+ and my fsh was low (not sure if it was CD2 as I had just had a period prior to starting lupron, and this time I was developing a follicle. This was 10 days ago. They started me on femcon bcp and now, I am starving all the time, my boobs are extremely swollen, hard and sore. I honestly am wondering if I could be pregnant, but I am so sick of feeling like "I could be" or "it's possible", but I guess I am wondering: IS IT POSSIBLE?

I am also wondering if there is any chance that I might be successful with a lupron cycle. Lupron is supposed to suppress your ovaries, but both they think it may be having the opposite affect on me. I really don't want to spend 15k to do donor egg if this might be a solution for me to have a baby, but I also don't want to get my hopes up again and not get pregnant at all. The oncologist I am seeing said that I should try for a year, but that if my paps start coming in 'bad' that I will have to have a leep or cone procedure and that may impact my fertility options even more. My last pap was fine and I just had another one last week.

What should I do?? Any advice?? I feel like I have moved to DE out of fear of not being able to have a child at all, but I am 35 and it I have a shot at conceiving on my own I don't want to give that up. My highest fsh was 76 (diagnosed at 32). Is it possible that an IUI would work?? I have never tried this or IVF on my own.

Thanks Ladies!

I don't know what to say!! Are you wondering whether you are PG NOW? Go and get a HPT!!! . If you are not, then, yes, I definitely think you have chances of getting PG on your own; we all do; some women with POF do; there's a chance for everyone. Now whether it will actually happen or not, nobody--NOBODY--knows, not the doctors that tell you that it won't happen OR the doctors (i.e. Check) that tell you that it WILL happen. Whether you want to take the chance is up to you and how you feel about the different scenarios. I've done DE (at age 31) after several lame IVF cycles with my own eggs. Fortunately the cycles with my own eggs were covered by my insurance (now I've run out of it..) so at least finances didn't play a role at all in that decision. If I had been self-paid, I believe I would've moved to DE sooner. Now I'm ttcing #3 (after DE twins) and thought I'd give my own eggs another shot (for one, it is much less expensive!!), but after a few months, and my FSH testing as high as 4 years ago, I'm discouraged and will sign up for a new DE cycle. But, you know, DE is not necessarily a solution either, as your canceled cycle shows; in my case, I had to go through 3 fresh DE cycles with 3 different donors. It's just a matter of working with better odds than with your own eggs, but no option offers certainty. I wish I could be more helpful . Something that was important to me is that I didn't want to have to wait any longer. The idea of spending even one more year childless was overwhelming. Now it's the same, I'm 34, and although that is not remotely OLD, I want to have my last kid SOON, not 5 years from now!
