Avatar f tn The options are surgery to repair the fallopian tubes, or in vitro fertilization which will bypass the tubes. Open tubes are required for the sperm to reach the egg. Thus, even if you are taking medicines like clomid and metformin which help your ovaries to release an egg, without open fallopian tubes the sperm will not be able to reach the egg to fertilize it. Finally, sometimes the X-ray is mistaken, but you definitely need more evaluation of your tubes if it indicates they are blocked.

Obviously is you put a growth chemical in a model with no restraints, you will get an optimal growth outcome not possible in the real world.

But 10 required clomiphene (a fertility drug) in addition to metformin in order to show evidence of ovulation. Twenty women of the 48 (42%) became pregnant. However, 7 of the 20 miscarried.(8) REDUCED RISK OF MISCARRIAGE. Another aspect of PCOS-related infertility is the tendency for repeated miscarriages.
Avatar n tn (5) In this study, 3,234 non-diabetics with elevated blood glucose were given metformin, placebo, or lifestyle recommendations. The incidence of diabetes in the metformin group was 31% less than in the placebo group. RESTORATION OF NORMAL MENSTRUAL CYCLE. A number of studies have shown that menstruation can be restored in many women with PCOS. For example, in a study at Jewish Hospital in Cincinnati, 43 women who were not having periods took Glucophage, and 39 of them resumed normal menses.
Avatar m tn I went for my sono today. I am on day six of stimulation. 5 follicles in the right ovary and none in the left. Three of the ones on the right measured about 10.5 and then 2 were smaller. The nurse said that maybe the left ovary will start producing and play catch up. I have been worried every since I left the visit. Does anyone know if the follicles are measuring ok and if I am where I should be at this point of my ivf cycle?
1373655 tn?1278605790 My husband and I are going through the In Vitro process. We have tried for 5 years before we went to this route. We did our egg retreival, had 14/21 fertilized. Tueday June 29th they did our embryo transfer. Yeterday they ran an HGC early just to see what my levels were. I was a 38 out of a 200. I guess at 200 your pregnant? Im just curious of the next steps in the process , Please comment!
Avatar n tn Antiviral and antineoplastic activities have also been reported in vitro. Four clinical trials found bitter melon juice, fruit, and dried powder to have a moderate hypoglycemic effect. These studies were small and were not randomized or double-blind, however.
Avatar m tn My Mother is 92 slim 126 pounds she feels lightheaded and dizzy in the Mornings after taking her metformin but fells better as the day wears on . I believe the metformin lowers her blood sugars in the morning causing her to feel dizzy and spacy.
Avatar f tn Very recently I began noticing large white capsule looking things in my stool. I read other forums & I noticed a common thread that everyone was taking the medication Metformin. I'm also on Metformin extended release, do u think that could be the cause?
Avatar n tn Has anyone experienced like me a pregnancy with an Ovarian hyperstimulation after in vitro fertilization ? Thanks a lot for your answer.
1461465 tn?1285865061 Ok, I found some stats on the ADA website. It said if the man alone has type 1, the chances in general are 1 in 17. This figure is doubled if he got diagnosed before age 11. But it also said there are several mitigating circumstances to alter this number. It also said that genetic testing could be done to determine the risk, but I'm not sure if that was in vitro or with a living child. Again, talk to your endo.
1306788 tn?1334752651 I luckily had an excellent doctor at the hospital where I have been going for my antenatal appointments. She kept me on Metformin in my first trimester, I am now in my second trimester, and she has been monitoring my sugars, and I don't seem to need it anymore, so she has taken me off it. But she said that has been a very recent study, which was very comprehensive which has shown that Metformin is completely safe to use throughout the whole pregnancy where needed.
Avatar f tn m not sure why you think Metformin only works on fat - in diabetes, the primary function of metformin is to stop the liver from over-producing glucose. "it only works on fat" - not sure what you mean.
Avatar f tn Hello everyone! I had endometriosis, chocolate cysts and tumor on my right ovary, also blood thickening, and my right ovary was removed during laparoscopy almost 8 years ago. I have problems with my left ovary too, endometriosis and cysts. I've done a lot of treatments (herbal, Yasmin pills, Zoladex shots etc.) and a punctuation. My husband and I decided to start TTC 1 year and a half ago but that didn't gave any positive results, so now we decided to make the in vitro procedure.
Avatar m tn So it looked very interesting. But in an in vitro study you have a constant exposure to the drug, which is impossible to achieve in vivo. And the cells used are not the same as regular hepatocytes in human liver, with many differences in gene expression and cellular physiology.
Avatar f tn In this forum, I know once blood in vitro, HIV immediately is inactive, but if there are a lot of blood which are just in vitro, will the HIV virus which is inside the blood immediately not have contagious?
Avatar n tn The present study was performed in order to investigate the anti-HBV activity of lutein in vitro. The antiviral activity of lutein was examined by detecting the levels of HBsAg, HBeAg and extracellular HBV DNA in stable HBV-producing human hepatoblastoma HepG2 2.2.15 cells. It was found that lutein effectively suppressed the secretion of HBsAg from HepG2 2.2.15 cells in a dose-dependent manner, and it also suppressed the amount of extracellular HBV DNA.
