I’ve heard about women get their ovaries taken out and frozen before something like chemotherapy and then getting them put back in afterwards since it causes infertility sometimes so could someone donate their ovaries to an already infertile person? And if they could what’s the issue with genes, would adapt so the eggs would receive the same genes as the person with the transplant?

Thanks.




I’m going in for my first ultrasound this week to see if there are any existing ovarian cysts that I may have. I’ve had terribly painful cysts for the last two/three months, with pain lasting a minimum of four hours. I’m only seventeen, and would like to raise a family someday. What are my odds of infertility? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.




Me and my husband have been trying for 7 years. So I finally went and seen a infertility specialist. I took a blood test for progesterone and they told me it was low however I have never been pregnant, I have a normal 28 day cycle and Ive been using a fertility monitor that says I do ovulate. Could it be I just need to take some medicine to higher my progesterone or is that unlikely. If so are the chances pretty high for concieving by just making your progesterone higher?




Hi, I know I am having infertility problems….trying for #3. Have been ttc for 1 year. Tried ovulation kits, all the stuff! I’ve had a lot of women say they had problems and used progesterone cream and it worked for them. I also heard that it would help with breast tenderness. after ovulation time I have tender breasts and since using this cream, they are SUPER tender and swollen! anyone elsehave ths problem? I should be starting my cycle the 18th………today it the 10th
yes I am using it between ovulation and cycle. Yes I do know that when I was pregnant 3 months ago I lost the pregnancy due to the fact that I didn’t produce enough progesterone to sustain the pregnancy

Question about Progesterone Cream?




Hi. I am on my 18th month of trying, and I decided to get into it a little more indepth. I would like to use progesterone cream. So my question is. Exactly how is it used, internally, externally? When should I use it (during my cycle)? And can you buy it over the counter (what are types that you use, or someone you know uses)?

Also. I would like to take something over the counter to help with cervical mucous (to make it healthier.. just to be safe). What can I use??

Any ideas would be greatly appriciated!

Thanks in advance!

P.S.- I have been T.T.C for 18 months now, with unexplained infertility. I want to keep trying naturally before moving onto treatments. I have a normal cycle it’s 24 to 25 days long and I ovulate each month. So any additonal advice from those who have dealt with unexplained infertility, that helped you conceive, would be greatly appriciated!!! :o )

Thanks & Happy New Year!




I am taking provera to start a period to check for infertility. I am on day 8 and haven’t started my period yet. My doctor said that I should start around day 5. I have also seen on-line that some people don’t start till after the ten days of taking the pill. I want some personal experience feedback. I think that is always the best way to go.




At what age do the signs of male menopause begin?
Do all men reach menopause?
How often do you hear cases of men suffering from male menopause?

Men do suffer from symptoms similar to menopause.
That’s why it’s called male menopause
I beg to differ J John. infertility is when a man stops producing sperm. Cancer can also be a cause for a mans infertility.







I haven’t gone to see a fertility specialist yet because I don’t want to take artificial hormones, and fertility costs are so expensive. One of my infertility problems is that I have very low progesterone. I want to know if any women have had success using progesterone cream to get pregnant, and how long did it take before you conceived?




Could I be starting Menopause?

My husband and I did some infertility treatments over a year ago. And then decided to stop. Since then, Ive had very very irregular periods and skipped a couple periods.

Ive just turned 42, Im in good health, but Ive pretty much skipped the past two periods. In December I had just a spotting for a good 10 days, and then again here in January, it’s just spotting for 3 days. Ive had sort of Mild PMS type symptoms at all different times (rather than just before my period) my breasts have been tender off and on. It seems like I should be getting my period, but it’s just a tiny bit on the toilet tissue.

I dont really have hot flashes or vaginal dryness at all. But I just cant account for why my periods have begun to be so spotty. Could I be in menopause? Or starting menopause? It seems a bit early for that. Can women have menopause at my age?
Also.. has anyone else done fertility drugs and then had problems with their periods that lasted so long? Can fertility drugs cause me to begin menopause so early?




Could human endorphins be the next drugs?

When people use recreational drugs, they basically take in chemicals that alter the neurotransmitters in their brain, making them feel a certain way. Human hormones, like endorphins (‘happy hormones’) do a similar thing. We already make hormones to use in therapy for infertility and other conditions. So, why don’t we use endorphins or similar hormones in the same way as drugs, synthesising them outside the body and introducing them into the bloodstream?
I’d like a fairly detailed answer if you can, from a doctor or someone with a medical background. Thanks!
