possible infertility ??????

[MrsLaura]

Can anyone help or have any information that may help me????
I am 44 (soon to be 45) i just found out today that my FSH is 16.4, i only have 4 follicles (still waiting on the results of the egg quality) and i have 2 uterine tumors about 3 cm each... I would like to know if anyone has been in this situation because my RE dr has told me that my chances are slim to none at this point??? so i am really feeling heart broken and not sure if i should pursue fertility. This is my first time taking any of these test and knowing anything about this subject so any information is welcome........Thanks :)

I know this thread is a few months old but..

Despite of everything, I believe that every woman has the ability to conceive regardless of age, and what Dr. may say. You CAN conceive, and I will pray for your situation! There are natural routes to increase the chances of conceiving naturally. Try googling for natural herbs.

Results may take longer than any medicine on the market, but trying natural rememdies improves your overall health as well, not just solving one problem.

Remember, always remain positive, have faith, and pray!!

God bless :-)

yes i have heard about that book and that is on my list to get it and read it... i hear it is very encouraging for a person  in my situation.  Thanks again for the confirmation of that!

[MrsLaura]

Thank you so much for the encouragement.  I am so early in the process that i really didnt talk to my RE regarding IVF, IUI or whatever....but in our discussions he told me that my best possible option would be egg donor in which i really dont want to do - just my personal choice. sooooo......what you commenting on sounds a bit better and maybe i can suggest that to my RE.  Now also if i understand you correct - they have to stimulate me with meds in order for the IVF to work?????  
i see that i have to do a lot more research and ask more questions.  all this information is definitely welcome and i appreciate it.. Also good luck to you and stay encouraged as well

hi there:

I just recently read a book called"inconcievable".it's a real story of a woman who got pregnant at the age of 43 despite of all the odds.she got pregnant with FSH 30 AT THE age of 43 allthough all docs. said it was imposible..

read it to get some encourement..good luck

HI there, i just read your post. my fsh was 14 and i only had 4 follicles as well, except when i did my first ivf i only had one follicle. i was given a 5-10% chance of it working bec my ovarian reserve is diminishing and was devestated. my re decided that we could go ahead and try it bec it's the only way they can tell your egg quality. instead of stimming me my clinic decided to try ivf with the one egg i produce in the month. it's a risky and expensive try but i had to try it so i know. (if u do decide to go thru with this, maybe ask your re not to stim u too much bec ull probably be a low responder like me) plus you'll save $$$ on not buying the meds. pls dont give up hope.

[MrsLaura]

Thanks for the support and well wishes...It means a lot :)
I will send up some prayers for you that the transfer is good and that you carry to full term. Stay encouarged, Good luck and god bless !!!!

I don't really have any information for you, but wanted to wish you Luck and good vibes!
I am 43 and am persuing the donor egg route.  Had a very good friend donate for me, and through many ups down with my uterus and we have 7 frozen embryos left and are hoping to do another transfer in late july or aug.
  I hope if you decide to move forward that you do get pregnant!!!
