Common Questions and Answers about Methadone and infertility

methadose

1264367 tn?1408104163 I have gastroparesis, and GERD, and am on methadone maintenance. I noticed I started having problems as soon as I started the Methadone Clinic, 3 yrs ago. I recently had an endoscopy and waiting on the biopsy results. I'm so sick of not being able to eat anything. I'm living off of oatmeal and can't over eat. But it's not over eating because I've been starving. I can only eat a small bowl of oatmeal before I take my methadone and then another small one for lunch.
Avatar f tn My advice would be to seek treatment for your HCV infection first, then try to figure out causes of your infertility and seek assistance if needed. Did you know that medical procedures like abortions often could cause female infertility too? However, only infertility specialist would be able to find real causes of your infertility problems. Hepatitis C would not be a major player here.
Avatar m tn Be very careful on what you read about infertility and HSV. Much of it is hype by sham HSV 'cure' or treatment products. Men can have HSV and have normal sperm counts. For some men, a reduced sperm count does occur as a result of HSV and antivirals do assist in restoring the count. It does not follow that all men with HSV have infertility problems. You are more likely to experience infertility from other causes than HSV.
Avatar n tn For now, and probably the rest of my life, I am under the supervision of a pain management doctor and take Methadone and Norco and must also rub an anti inflammatory cream on my scrotum three times per day to control the pain that is caused by this one little nerve. Along with that, I also take antidepressants, anxiety meds, cholesterol meds, laxatives, acid blockers, sleep medication, migraine prevention medication, and acne medication. All stemming from the original problem!
Avatar f tn Congratulations on trying to conceive! I was being treated with Metformin for my diabetes risk and irregular cycles. For women, Metformin can also make them super fertile (odd side effect) while regulating blood sugars. I'm not familiar with men and fertility issues, so I did a quick search and found this: Male Infertility & Diabetes DCS: What about diabetes and infertility as it is related to males? Does it cause fertility issues in men, too? Dr. Falcone: Yes.

Avatar f tn Susten is to be given only when there is a documented deficiency of this hormone(progesterone) leading to infertility called inadequate luteal phase infertility. It is only approved for women undergoing IVF or other reproductive techniques. This medicine can result in intrauterine death or spontaneous abortion.
Avatar f tn Hi and welcome to the forum....well I was on methadone for 6 1//2yrs and also have bipolar disorder so taking antidepressants was a fact of life for me...I had good luck with celexa will taking methadone...very little side effects mixing the 2 together but all antidepressant are not the same...I agree with mr lucky on asking your dr he/she should at least know your on the methadone...
Avatar n tn I have been on methadone for 5 months now and my life has taken a 180. I do not ever want to be like I was 5 months ago. I work and I am a great mother again and I am dependable and proud of myself. I dont cry everynight wishing God would just take me I am praying Thank you to God every day all day. I recomend it totaly.
Avatar n tn I have started taking Methadone on occasion. This morning I took a 10mg Methadone and this evening I took 3 10mg Hydrocodones. I am experiencing a ton of breathing problems now. Does anybody know if this is a bad mix. I was taking 10-15 10mg vicodin a day. I know it has to be tearing up my liver. Does anyone else have a problem like this?
Avatar f tn My current insurance pays for all testing but no treatment. And they consider testing during a treatment cycle to be treatment. We are switching to my husband's insurance in November and it covers $30,000 infertility (if only I had known this when opting for COBRA when my job ended). Anyway, I will have to check to see what exactly they cover. Good luck to everyone!!
Avatar f tn I have already caught him once mixing klonopin and his methadone. But I am still very suspicious that he has do so over the week end at his parents house. I was just wondering if you could advise me as to what signs to watch for if I don't catch him right away. Like what the normal side effects within a day or two after that I would be looking for.
Avatar m tn Welcome to the forum---- I think the more important question is whether you really need the additional pain relief or or just wanting the effect of the additional Opiate. If you can withstand the pain by just taking your normal dose of Methadone, then don't take the Lortabs. Hope you will stay and post and read this site -- should you ever decide to come off of the Methadone, this is a great place to find help. All the best.
Avatar f tn B12 can help to balance your hormones and can help to increase your luteal phase. What CD day are you on, and what CD does AF normally fall on?
Avatar f tn I have been doing a lot of research and found that the varicocele may actually be the reason for his infertility as it is quite big. What I am not sure about is whether it would cause his hormone levels to go high. Does anyone know whether varicocele cause high fsh and lh levels? If my husband had to do the surgery and he manages to obtain a sperm count, is it possible for him to relapse back to azoospermia?
Avatar n tn But it was really quite large (about 14 cm) and it was causing me serious pain, and had pushed my uterus over to above my hip. You might want to get a second opinion if you are concerned about the importance of the surgery. I have alot of scar tissue from mine, but because of the pain I was in, I would do it again in a heartbeat!
216278 tn?1308861082 The more that I am reading about it, the more I am wondering if I have it and is what is causing my infertility....I read on one site that it is like the single-most undetected cause of it and the most treatable... anyone?
Avatar f tn When I was 17 I had a ectopic pregnacy and they gave me a shot to rid of it. Soon after my menstral cycle came very few and in between. Over the past few years my husband and I have been trying to coceive. They put me on metformin and other stuff such as birthcontrol to force my menstral cycle but would only bring it for 2 days. Now im on nothing and not having a cycle at all. What are your suggestions?
Avatar n tn It is the most beneficial thing especially since treatment for this disease is so limited and you are dealing with fertility issues. Good luck and keep us posted about your next dr. visit.
Avatar n tn If you are under age 35, I would start things off by going on clomid and if the clomid regulates your periods and causes you to ovulate more regularly give the clomid 3-4 months. If you are not pregnant after four regular ovulations on clomid, then have your partner get a semenanalysis and even think then about a hysterosalpingogram to check your fallopian tubes. There is nothing wrong with doing a sperm count and a hysterosalpingogram right of the bat, but I am not sure this will be necessary.
Avatar f tn Dear wenny15 - yes it is possible the surgeries have affected your anatomy. That being said, the best thing to do when you have been trying for over a year is to have a full infertility evaluation by an infertility specialist. Typical tests will include: 1) an X-Ray test call a hysterosalpingogram (HSG) where we inject a dye into the uterus that allows us to see the uterus and the fallopian tubes on an X-ray to see if the tubes are open or blocked.
319653 tn?1200346342 I realize that if your hormones are unbalance you will experience all these signs and symtoms. I went and got some progesterone cream and female hormone balance pills. I have to thank god I have'nt felt no pain since.
Avatar f tn I got a horrible flu bug on Saturday the 12th and to ensure all was well I went to the hospital and they ran lots of bloodwork and said I had a stomach virus and confirmed I was pregnant. Today (15th) I went to the doctor to do the ob confirmation and they attempted an u/s, and when she could not detect the baby (blob) the nurse said the doctor wants me to go to get blood work done today and then again on Thursday to eliminate ectopic.
