I've read that some doctors prescribe tetracyclyne (or doxycycline) after m/c just in case infection might be causing the losses. I asked my RE and he went ahead and prescribed it to me just in case, but said to take it during the first 2 weeks of the cycle before any chances of being pregnant. So I'm taking that, but also taking femara and dhea(all approved by the RE). Did anyone else take it and did you take it along with any other fertility meds and what side-effects did you have?

Not sure, but it's a good idea to eat yogurt 1 or 2x/day when you're on antibiotics because they wipe out all the good bacteria, too. The probiotics in the yogurt help your body along.

I took it becasue DH's SA came back positive for one of those little bugs that might cause miscarriages. Your husband should take it at the same time because if you had it chances are he did too. Side effects are not any different from other antibiotics that I know of. I don't recall having any. Eating yogurt is a good suggestion.

I did for awhile but then stopped because your body can become immune to it.
