My Dr called a while ago with the results of my blood test and other test they did. He said the odds of getting pregnant on my own are so slim that he says I will be trying forever. Maybe he is a little to honest but that is what I like about him. He knows I want a girl so he is asking me to decide on a few fertility drugs that will help me with that and then he will check to see if I can take it.

So I need to know all drugs that help to conceive a girl! Clomid is out because I already know I am allergic to it. I don't know any other drug names except that HGC can be used.

I have to decide before I leave for the Holidays since I would be starting AF during that time.

None of the fertility drugs sway, Clomid is the only one that does and well I am not even sure I believe the 2% thing as I know plenty of clomid boy including my triplet brothers. Anyway, just take the one that he prescribes as it won't matter if it sways or not if you can't get pregnant without it. :) Good luck to you and hopefully you will get preggo soon!!

He said I can make eggs but they are not maturing and releasing. I have PCOD that is affecting my right side mostly but my left Ovary is not so great. They were never noticed before because I was always pregnant when I had U/S done. It explains why I have always had really bad cramps during AF that left me bed/couch bound for days and really bad mood swings. He thinks the only reason why I have the boy is because I was on such an extremely high everything diet that I just happened to release a few healthy eggs (I was badly under weight when I met hubby and gained 30lb to get to a healthy weight)

I am going to go back on a normal rounded healthy diet but I will be avoiding fats, sodium, and sugar. I am just going to fill up on Spring Mix Salads (the way I love to make it) and lean proteins. I will hold off breakfast until 10-11, take b6, cranberry, red raspberry (what I took everyday before getting the boys), and vegan friendly prenatals. This is going to be my sway plan... for just a baby if I get my Maddie Lou then that would be awesome but I would take a Henry too.

I just read that Soy Isoflavones will work just like Clomid if take 2x's a day, starting CD3 to 5, and only taken for 5 days.... Is that true? It would be so much cheaper then spending $100+ everytime I have to go to the Dr.

Soy barely worked for me and I hated the side effects but you can try it. And it is best taken like Clomid so days 3-7 or 5-9 of your cycle.

I wonder if I could try it for 1-2 cycles and then spend the money for fertility drugs.
