Oh, the gynecologist said I am not ovulating but I am not menopausal, and is trying to get my periods started again. Anyone been in similar situation? Advice really needed! I know the older you are the higher the risk of downs syndrome etc......
Ask about Poly Cystic Ovarian syndrome. It can cause you not to ovulate and difficulty conceiving. With this condition, you produce a follicle (egg) in the form of a cyst (that's normal), but your progesterone levels don't get high enough to have you ovulate, instead, the cyst remains and multiple cysts form on your ovaries as you produce the follicles (cysts) without ovulating. You can also go long periods of time with out menstrual cycles. It's treatable with a combination of medications like Clomid to help you ovulate.
Have them also check your AMH levels, which tell you your egg reserve, this will give you more information on what types of fertility treatments will bring you the most success.
They should check your hormone levels, as well as your thyroid function, as both of those can effect your fertility.
Best of Luck!

Thank you for the advice and the encouragement! :) I am already starting to feel like a pin cushion.I had to go to the lab before my appt yesterday and then right back to the lab after my appt. They are not dragging their feet that is for sure, I started seeing my new Dr just before christmas, Jan 6 I saw the gyno, and feb 19 is my first appt with the specialist. It all still seems unreal, I am truly stunned at just how fast everything is going right now and I'm not sure it has all really sunk in yet. every ultra sound and blood draw they do I expect to hear we are sorry we was wrong, we can't help you have a baby. Yet I hope and pray with every fiber of my being they really can help...
