High FSH and advance age

[rabbit2006]

hobbes,

Thanks for your posting.

In other aspect age 39/40 may not be consider "advanced age".
But in female fertility terms, age 39/40 is really "advanced age".
Life ivf birth at age 40 is only 21% whereas life ivf birth at age 34 is 50%.

I do natural cycle ivf with dr. Tay.

Wish you best of luck.

Congratulations! I had similar problem as you and also went to Dr Tay. Got pregnant at my first IVF attempt, my son is almost 2 now. For me it was the Dr who gave me the confidence hence the positive thinking. I think we've both found the right dr agree?

I want to let everyone know that between my earlier post and now I conceived - naturally, no iui, no ivf. The only treatment I was doing was acupuncture. I truly believe the acupuncture brought my fsh down because the month i conceived it was 8, down from 45 early this year when my then doctor (needless to say I am not seeing him now) told me to abandon stimulated treatment as I am no longer a candidate. So, please stay positive and if you want any further info pm me.

Hobbes, congratulations! that's wonderful news. Did you use Troy Sing?

 

[hobbes]

Yes, I was with Troy Rani. And he was amazing. Even he was not entirely confident with a 45 fsh I'd be able to conceive naturally but he still worked on me. I was clear I was not going back to the gonal-F. I have this feeling - inexplicable and not backed by medicine - that it is part of the reason my fsh sky rocketed.

Congratulation hobbes !!!! i am happy for you too, my story are similar as you, I was diagnostic with High FSH 35 in Nov, and coming this year will turn to 39 yrs old.

i been visit many doctor & clinic in italy, but they said that my chance of getting pregnant is very slim even with IVF, & refused to provide any treatment and gave me the donor egg lecture. so until now i chance my mind to looking for egg donor e instead to use my own eggs, but seem also difficult to find Chinese donors in Europe .

and not luck as you can found the acupuncture here too....i have blue moody very day....but i wont give up....i wish in coming new year, can bring me new hope....

with love

Just wanted to share with everyone as we all know we need success stories to keep us going. Had similar problems as earlier posters diagnosed at age of 39 also, also given the egg donation / adoption advise by one of the top fertibilty guys in HK. So then began acupuncture / chinese herbes / virtually any supplement recommended on the net for these problems. Did that for 6 months then took a break to clear my head, during that break from it all fell pregnant naturally and now into my 8th month of pregnancy. So don't give up hope keep on trying is my motto.
