xp: Growth Hormone Treatment

xp from TTC:Has anyone tried Growth Hormone Treatment for thin uterine lining during IVF or FET? I spoke to a new RE today who said he has seen success with this. Truthfully I'm still too discouraged to start trying again, but want to get as much information as I can before we make any decisions. 

Re: xp: Growth Hormone Treatment

  • I took Human Growth Hormones with my current cycle, but it was added to help improve my egg quality.

  • I took it with my three IVF cycles but, like njohnson said, it was added to help with egg quality since I am DOR.

  • The RE I spoke to today said that he's used it for repeated IVF and lining failure and seen success. I haven't been able to find much info out there. I've tried everything from injections to every type of Estrace and Viagra with poor lining results.

    Thanks for your replies! 

  • I was recently put on D-Aspartate Acid as it naturally increases HGH and is cheap compared to HGH. It must be chealted to work correctly.

    Here is the product my RE told me to take since I have crappy eggs (info in siggy)
