High FSH Levels
I just found out that I have an abnormally high FSH level. It's 12.5 and I'm 37. My doctor is not too hopeful about my conceiving and has refered me to a specialist. The specialist's nurse told me as I was making the appointment that my levels were so high, I would have a really hard tiem getting pregant and not to get my hopes up. Has anyone had levels like these or a similar problem. I'm so unhappy right now and can't stop thinking about it:
Hi, I was trying for less than a year in 2008-2009, then diagnosed with FSH 12.8, did 3 cycles IVF - 450mgs menopur, pregnant on 3rd cycle, have a fabulous 14 month old baby boy now and dying to go again, started on agnus castus herb to regulate hormones, takes 3 months it seems but will try a few things until we can afford IVF again. 1st cycle my egg qulaity wasn't as good and the 2 nd cycle we changed the drug regime and I didn't respond at all but the 3rd went swimmingly, so go for it if you can I say. also the doc said I had no chance of conceiving naturally so I think I am out to prove him wrong this time - the eternal optimist!!!
Just was told I could try but the chances are low. FSH 20. AMH 0.19. I'm going to be 40 in Nov yet my body is acting like 48. I got my clomid/ovidrel script but I just don't know if this is a sign we should quit while we are ahead. Financially we are doing just 'ok' with one. With two, we wonder if we are financially doing the right thing. My car just took a crap so one more stressor today.
Don't know what to do. I went from "well we're just do donor eggs" to "what's the point" in a matter of a day. Maybe it's just today that I feel aloof, depressed, indifferent, hopeless. Maybe I do need one more month to think about all of this.

My FsH levels were 17 then 15 at age 42. Told highly unlikely that I would conceive. At the ripe age of 46 i am sat here with a 2 year 9 month child on my knee who was conceived following acupuncture so NEVER give up hope
I just found out that I have a FSH OF 12, I have not told my husband yet, and I am very upset. I have a good doctor and will be taking more test at the end of the month. But I wanted to thank you for your comments and encouragement posted in response to another member. I am not going to give up!
