Anyone taking Tamoxifen?

below 10 to be considered decent; below 9 or 8 to be good; above 13 - extremely difficult to stimulate for good eggs... 18...? last time I saw my OB/GYN i thought mine was 11.8 and she was hopeful....
 
last time was just the previous cycle, that's why it's so devastating that it's so bad... next step - nothing really, just continue with tamoxifen and pray for a miracle... nothing can fix a low ovarian reserve, if there are almost no eggs left, then that's it (I wouldn't do any of the artificial methods or egg donor or anything of the sort.. adoption only if i could ever afford it...) ... i almost regret that i found out...
 
and btw, thanks for talking to me... it helps to just talk...
 
I am so sorry...
But, is it not odd that your count changed so drastically in 1 cycle? Or maybe not?
 
15 - 20 Expect a more marked reduction in response to stimulation and usually a further reduction in embryo quality. Antral follicle count is an important variable.

Did they do the antral follicle count?

Nevermind...just saw that u did not want to try artificial interventions...

Anyway...i am so sorry....:hugs::hugs::hugs::hugs::hugs::hugs::hugs::hugs:
 
i have no idea :(... but i'm afraid that getting a bad number is an indication that it's really bad, no matter that sometimes the number is better... i'll find out more when i talk to the doc

Oh....most women here will tell you to skip ahead to FSs or REs....
 
my OB/GYN is doing the infertility treatment with me (i didn't know i was infertile, i just had a miscarriage in March)...; the PCP just does the blood work... that's a very good website that you found, thanks for that... looks pretty bad based on what they say there...
 
i know... but it may be that because the quality of my eggs is already bad, that's why i miscarried... i wish i could just stop thinking and worrying.. it won't change much, and it only makes me so depressed and miserable...
 
so today i got my blood work results from CD3 this cycle... last cycle it was already bad, my FSH was 11.8 - but it wasn't tragic, so I had hope... this time FSH is 18.2... I think this is pretty much it for me... I just wonder if I should still torture myself with hormones, temperature, opks, etc. ...

Sorry I dident respond earlier ,I believe the tamoxifen can artificially raise your FSH levels while taking it which is how it makes us stimulate eggs is by raising FSH. so I would not stress too much over the new number. I would not give up yet. I know personally I am not giving up. Hugs try to think positive. and if you still decide to TTC I would add some royal jelly and wheat grass both are good for helping us older women in the fertility department. and wheat grass has been proven to lower FSH. I took them last month and when I tested my FSH twice it dident even show a test line. here is the kind I bought https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B..._m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=08HEGKRMGN4JJ8RM99WT
 
oh Lisa... i don't know if i even have the energy for more hope... i am so sick of these constant ups and downs... and of the millions of supplements i'm supposed to be taking...

... of course i'm going to buy that wheat grass :-(
can i get royal jelly also on amazon?

my doc prescribed amoxicilin for CM, and suggested EPO and fertil cm, and mucinex

i have like 30 bottles of meds on my desk...

i need a retreat or something or i'll go crazy....

but thank you so much !!

Why would your doctor prescribe Amoxicillin ? do you have a infection?.
if you want to try royal jelly this is the best one. you have to keep it in the fridge and take 1 tsp ( on a plastic spoon metal ruins the nutrients) once or twice a day. https://www.amazon.com/YS-Royal-Jel...ef=sr_1_8?s=hpc&ie=UTF8&qid=1309037720&sr=1-8
 
amoxicilin helps with CM! i had no idea that it does but she's the second doctor who recommends this to me... amoxicilin taken on days 10 till Ovulation keeps the liver busy, otherwise the liver does something bad with the estrogen? i can't remember the details... it sounds very weird, but i think i might try it

Weird I have never heard anything like that,
I noticed I had a increase in CM with tamoxifen and alot more now that I am in the 2ww.
weird thing is my symptoms are nothing like they usually are on my past BFN cycles. everyone says thats a good sign though.
 
Hi ladies-

I wanted to wish each of you the best! :hugs:

I am not a Tamoxifen user at this point, but I was wondering if I could ask a question?

For those of you that have tried Clomid, do you prefer the Tamoxifen? I have been a Clomid user and I am considering starting it again for my cycle that starts next week. But since I already have a doctor's appointment for next Tuesday, I thought about asking for Tamoxifen.

Any insight you girls could give me would be great! A little info: I do OV on my own; I used Clomid for better egg quality and a longer LP.:hugs:

Best wishes! :flower:
