Clinical trials..? Anyone?

Post by observer »

Hi-

I am starting a new thread on experimental treatments. So many of us feel like we are approaching the end of the road or our RE has exhausted options, or we are going in circles....or backwards....

Is anyone out there on a clinical study/trial? I went to www.clinicaltrials.gov, where you can search for terms like "IVF" or "poor responder."

There are several trials out there, like:
DHEA (New York and Austria-based)
Acupuncture (Maryland-based)
Day 1 hyperstimulation trial (Canada-based)
LH supplementation (Denmark-based)
Estradiol supplementation (Israel-based)
Comparison of 3 protocols (UC San Francisco-based)

Anyone have any experience with these/other trials???
Looking for some hope.... :)
