My wife is 45 with a low follicle count [2] has anyone had success with this?

If you referring to anteral follicle count...that is they just look at ovaries on sonogram and count the follicles as a starting point 2 is not fabulous, but your wife is 45.  You can't tell the whole picture from just the folllicle count. In general women in their 20s have 7 on each side.  

Most of us who had follicle counts have gone on for more assisted reproductive therapy so the follicle count doesn't necessarily give the doctor that much infor.  More importantly they do a clomid challenge test and take the FSH level.   This is a better indicator of how the ovarian reserve.  FSH levels give the doctors an idea on how the ovaries respond to ovarian stimulating medicine.  

You never know as anything can happen.  It's a lot harder in your 40s and the odds are stacked against us when we get into our 40s.  Good luck to you.
