Which Are The Alternatives Apart From IVF To Get Pregnant?

I have been diagnosed as being infertile (pcos, low progesterone and severe scarring as a result of pid). I visited a fertility clinic where i did an amh test (the results were good), I been told the only way to get pregnant is by ivf; are there any other fertility treatments that may work for me?

Hi ,
With these 3 reasons you don't need to take up IVF as first resort.
1. PCO will have poor progestrone production because the eggs don't come out of ovary in PCO. - Best solution is controlled diet & regular exercise. No fasting. Avoid high cal diet. Confirm you Thyroid profile , Blood sugar & Serum Prolactin are normal.
2. PID is infection which need a good antibiotic cover for husband & wife, to be started by Gynecologist.
Hope other factors for infertility have been ruled out.
Once PID is treated, PCO have a high chance for pregnancy with Ovulation inducing drugs +/- hormonal support. Good AMH means you have lot of eggs.
All the best
