I was wondering if anyone with hypothalamic amenorrhea has gotten pregnant with iui or ivf? I am going to a RE soon and am getting very discouraged. All of my labs my OB did were normal except my estrogen was 22
https://www.sart.org has a comprehensive list of success rates with a multitude of diagnoses. I personally do not suffer from this so I don't have anything to tell you of my own experience, but I've done a lot of Internet research for myself and there are some great resources out there! Good luck!
My doctor originally thought I had HA, but he said since I'm reacting well to the medications, I seem like I'm 'acting more like a pcos patient." That being said, I did one cycle of 50 mg clomid and didn't ovulate, two cycles of 100mg of clomid, ovidrel, and timed intercourse and didn't get pregnant. Then I took a month off and failed to ovulate on my own, which I expected. Finally I did femera, gonal-f injections, ovidrel, and IUI. I got pregnant with the IUI cycle! It may take some time, but hopefully the doctor can find the medications that your body responds to best!
@Shopaholic42488 I know that this post is old but wanted to comment in case you are still wondering! I have hypothalamic amenorrhea. I was diagnosed with it about a year ago. I started seeing a RE but was very anemic and had low vitamin D as well so I had to see a normal doctor, a hematologist, and have tests done before I could continue with treatment. Thankfully everything is back where it should be.
I went through my first round of treatment in August. I got a BFP with my first round of IUI. I did the research before the IUI just to see what the chances are and the chance of getting a BFP with IUI is actually very high for people like us. It has a much better success rate than for people with other issues (like PCOS, unexplained, etc). I got pregnant with Menopur and Ovidrel trigger shot. Good luck in your journey and if you haven't gotten your BFP yet, I hope you do soon!!
