Hi all,

I make rare appearances these days (was dontlikeliver and here daily for years), but now I have a specific issue again that I hope I may get experiences from other recovered, or mostly recovered, Lyme women from.

I am 42 (43 later in the year), have been about 90% recovered now for 2-3 years. On no meds, and 'discharged' from my LLMD unless I need him.

I am thinking of going for IVF treatment, is there any particular risk to recovered women who had chronic Lyme for years compared to the ones who did not?

Does anyone have expereinces with this, did it work well and without bringing the Lyme back?

Thanks.

Hopalong, ex DLL..

I would definitely consult with a Lyme Literate OBGYN.. I would think injecting hormones at this stage could stir things up, however, if it were me the desire for children would be worth the risk. Just my opinion.. [Smile]
