Abnormal FSH - whats next ?


I'm 31, already diagnosed with blocked fallopians, septated/ bicornuated uterus, irregular cycles.

First CD3 , E2 119, FSH 7.5
Second CD3 E2 80, FSH holy 27!!!!

Doc tells me that there is no hope. Really ? Is there any ray of hope at all ? Is there no clinic  that would be willing to do an IVF ?Or you think its about time I started hunting for donor eggs ?

Yes, the dr said you're done - thats why :-(. Basically she explained how poor ovarian reserves lead to extra active pituitary which pushes the gas pedal ( more notoriously known as dear FSH) to act and get some eggs which leads to high E2 etc etc. HIgh E2 suppreses FSH, thats what the first cycle showed, and in the second E2 was lower and thats why the FSH was let loose. If E2 was low, then God knows how much this FSH would have read ..more than 100 maybe ( I'm calculating ). So bottomline - its a symtom of POF - pre mature ovarian failure. May be - may be not - the next cycle will confirm this.

Wow, did the dr say why it would jump so much in only one cycle? It is just so shocking.....

Thanks for the reply ladies. The test were two consecutive cycles, although the second cycle came after 15 days. I usually have irregular cycles which can be along as 3 months to 22 days. In first one the E2 came back abnormal and in second the FSH was the dark character.The doctor is a certified RE ( as reported). Yes, I'm going for another test in the next cycle, but the doctor basically told me that this could be the dead end for me for a self constructed off-spring :-(

I don't understand how you can get two different results.  There should be something wrong with the results. You should test your FSH one more time. I really dont know if there is no hope or not.. But I would definitely not give up hope.

How far apart were the tests? That is really a big jump. Is the dr a specialist or an ob/gyn?
