Well, I am an American living in Jordan....which is how we can even afford IVF and they do the general anesthesia, at least that's what they call it. So I'm not sure. I go on Tuesday for the taking of the follicles and Thursday or Friday for the implantation. Well interestingly enough, my body didn't respond to any other fertility drugs except the FSH injections, a double dose of Gonal-F....which then produced way too many follicles. I have tolerated things ok, just lots of nausea...but I think that's normal? No fainting or dizziness through this all, so I was thankful! I will keep you all posted on what happens with this.

Hey thanks so much! I have polycystic ovaries as well, which is why we had so many problems. I never thought it could be related to the POTS, but makes sense. After tons of other fertility drugs, my body still never did what it was supposed to. My second try with FSH injections produced about 8 follicles....my doctor was shocked! He doesn't know much about POTS except from me. Thanks for the advice!

I am a 28 year old female that was diagnosed with POTS about 5 years ago. We have had fertility issues and so on Tuesday we will be having IVF. I was wondering if anyone else with POTS has gone through IVF? I am mainly a bit concerned about being under the general anesthesia. Any info would be great!
