hello,i have low estrogen and my doc said it was possible hypogonadism - premature ovarian failure.  all the other tests turned out fine.  i took a dose of clomid and my day 21 preg. levels were very good. a good ovulation took place.  i get my peroid every 28 days, just like clockwork.  my husbands sperm was checked, and is okay, just 40% make it thru the cervix, and 60% the opposite direction.  if i were to take a higher does of clomid would it work? i dont quite understand how having low estrogen is keeping me from getting pregnant.  doesnt it make you have your peroids every month?

Please don't worry about that.

I dislike Clomid, that's all.
I don't know if your doctor will give you clomid or any other medication, but I think you should see an endocrinologist first.

IUI+injectables is intrauterine insamination + hormone injection which are very easy to use and not painful. I like the injectables because they help your CM.

my husband and i go to a fertility doctor on march 6, so u dont think clomid would work?  what exactly are iui injectibles? is is just taking the sperm and placing into my cervix?  i guess i;ll find out more than, i just like to be knowlegable about what they tell me so ill understand better.  my doc did mention some kind of dye or a possible lapocrotopsy. its so frustrating after all these years, did you have to go through any of this? thanks for your help and info

is your doc a fertility specialist?

Dear mfrench,

I suggest you start thinking of injectables after this cycle. Injectables are much better than clomid.
I don't understand anything about gland problems but I suggest you visit an endocrinologist who also has a knowledge of infertility, pregnancy issues etc. I think this is important.

good luck!!!

Dear Mfrench,

What blood tests did you have? what is your day 3 fsh level?
What are the sperm parameters?

Low estrogen suggests that the follicles produced may not be matured but this is easily corrected so don't worry.
