I am with a Gynae. I do have a "problem" with fertility for over a year now though, endo and pcos and IR. Is on Glucophage and Fertomid. Fall preggies on my 2nd cycle with Fertomid. Baby girl was born on the 12th of August '11. Diagnosed with Trisomy 18, passed away three and a half months later. Did a laparoscopy End of January '12, all have been removed. Dr also said i'm mostly fertile now after Lap.

Question was only out of interest =)

Hi Nadia

Have not heard about them, but it sounds to me like they would need to be prescribed for a specific need. The problem with taking hormones without a Doctors prescription is that different hormones are needed at different times of the month in order for our fertility to work correctly.

Remember it can take the average healthy couple up to a year to fall pregnant. I realise that 4 months seems like a long time, I know what it is like to see all the bfn but give yourselves time and less stress if you can.

The rule usually is under 35 up to a year and then see a fertility specialist. Over 35 up to 6 months and then see a FS.

In the meantime there is no harm in you seeing a gynae if you haven't to make sure that your pap smear is clear and that your ovaries look healthy.

Good luck. Practice makes perfect babies. xxx
