QuestionMy husband(29) and I(28)- perfectly health w/unexplained fertility have been trying to conceive for three years now. After one year we went to fertility- from clomid to gonalF, IUI's , progestrone,and so on...2 pregnancies that we miscarried. Now we decide to take a break from Fertility b/c of finances and emotional draining..So my question is will i have a "normal cycle" on my own after injection cycles? I'm on cycle day29. No period...don't know what to expect??
Now we have decided to take a break from fertility
AnswerHello Danielle,
Your cycle should return to normal, and you certainly could get pregnant after a fertility cycle as well. So if your cycle is late, you might want to get a pregnancy test.
The good thing, that you need to remember is that you got pregnant twice despite the miscarriage. That means that your body did all the steps that it needed to in order to achieve pregnancy, and means that you can get pregnant again. You should not give up. The miscarriages were because something was wrong with the fetus. Eventually, this will be fine and you'll have your baby. So keep trying. If finances are an issue, don't use the injectable medications, which are very expensive, and go back to Clomid or Femara IUI's.
Good luck,
