As a board-certified infertility specialist, I am always looking for ways to improve my chances of getting pregnant.
I was put on Zovirax (acyclovir) 400mg twice daily tablets because it worked well for me. As a side effect, it helped my miscarriages, and I was able to get pregnant again. Not only did this help my chances of getting pregnant with IUI, but it also made my cycle much more comfortable.
The 400mg tablet was amazing. The instructions say take it twice daily, but the tablets were just designed for an individual. It was easy to take, and I would never have known if I had taken it long term.
My doctor prescribed Zovirax 400mg twice daily, and it worked well for me. As a general rule of thumb, I took it twice daily to get a better response. But my cycle was much more comfortable.
I was really impressed with the results and how quickly I could get pregnant again.
I love how it was absorbed and fast-acting and I couldn’t wait to get back to being able to get pregnant again.
This is the only medicine I’ve used to improve my chances of getting pregnant with IUI.
AcalovirZovirax was amazing. I love how it was absorbed and fast-acting and I couldn’t have done it without it.
