[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What are low tech treatments?  I found out from my first ovulation ultrasound that my $200 in 2006 ClearBlueEasy monitor was out of sync with actual ovulation.  I got pregnant within 2 months after that.  I'll never know if that was the problem, but thank god for the ultrasound tech who told me it wasn't rare for the at-home monitoring to be different from what was going on with the follicle.

I was 35 when I got pregnant for the first time (about 20 years ago).  Don't remember how long I tried for (maybe 1 year?) but long enough to get counseled, my husband had a fertility related operation, I had a hysterosalpingogram, and I started on some off-label harmless drug that was not Clomid.  I had just gotten the counseling about IUI and the next month I got pregnant.

I was not happy at all with the medical-industrial complex, except that one ultrasound tech.

Got pregnant naturally with baby 2 with no intervention at 39.

I cannot say what exactly worked but to someone who had been through high school science, I believe it's likely I systematically worsened my luck by relying on the at-home monitor.  My husband and I were never sure if his outpatient operation was worth it or not.

Good luck to you.  I share my experience in hopes it may help someone push the system harder.[/quote]

Low tech treatments = ovulation induction meds like clomid and/or IUI[/quote]
