[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not OP, but I did this a couple of times. Monitored my own blood work, no ultrasounds, timed intercourse.  Yep, still infertile, zero kids resulted.[/quote]

How do you monitored your own blood work?[/quote]

Your results are available the next day (in mid-morning) in your online personal account. In my prior IVF cycles I kept meticulous records of bloodwork results, so I knew what's normal for me in terms of a stimulated cycle for various protocols and dosages of meds. I am a data nerd. Also spent massive amounts of time reading research on Pubmed (on IVF in general, not just for the unmonitored cycles).  [/quote]

Im doing the same! Too much money down the drain , Ive got a pharma connect that has givin me access to discounted IVF medication gonal -f  clomid and ovidrel . my next cycle I will be monitoring myself and doing it natural with times intercourse . I have a highschool friend who is a Dr at a well known clinic  who just gave birth to ferternal twins 8 rounds  2 losses  and a dozen surgeries and she finally took home 2 babies can you imagine overall what it cost her . she gave me some advice as far as administering  that intercourse than triggering is best . the response is different when sperm is already waiting for egg vs  trigger than do IUI after . Best course of action is to have intercourse than trigger and then timed intercourse two days after. For all the KARENS and LINDAS that will attack me for this . Id rather not pay Dr thousands when I can get access to the medication for 300-500 verses 1500 for one drug and get just as good info on how to monitor myself than paying a Dr. thousands to turn up with zero babies .. lets remember what's good for the goose isn't good for the gander.  what I think is best for me may not be what you agree with or what you think is best for you and your husband . But Im confident that this will work for my family . I'm hoping for multiples so with the information i was given Im sure things will work out for me. Im truly thinking of starting a group for women who want access to the medication for women who don't have insurance or wont pay for the meds  no matter if they are being monitored or not i think the med pricing is outrageous .

If your being monitored by a doctor or going rouge and doing it yourself good luck to you either way and baby dust to all .  :D [/quote]
