Where are all my woman over 40?
Ok was just wondering where we all went. I'm still trying to conceive and I'm 44....still not sure how I'm going to get PG. I have my TR date, Sept. 17th. I also called Shady Grove( thanks Mel, u know who u are! Lol) maybe the donor shared risk program, for any of you out there, I have researched donor eggs, really crazy expensive, but Shady Grove has a program that includeds meds, donor fees, you share the donor with 2 other couples, 1 try is 14,000.00 and no refund, but 29,000.00 for 6 fresh tries and unlimited frozen and its100% back if u don't bring home a baby...Super Sticky baby Dust to All Of Us

Hi,
good luck with your TR, I am on my 2nd cycle since we got the go ahead to ttc. I haven't taken anything, I'm using a ovulation monitor. It seems to to take the guess work out of ovulation. I'm 44, my fsh was 7, but still no guarantees.
Good luck and SSBD

Hello,
I am new to the group. I am 45 yrs old, having a TR in January 2011, FSH 15.5 on day 3 of last cycle. I was told by the dr that is doing the TR that he couldnt give me any guarantee of a baby but it was possible, but not high probability with 15.5 FSH. He suggested maybe IVF and donor eggs but my husband and I KNOW we are going to get pregnant.
I am going to the health food store tomorrow and get some DHEA and wheatgrass pills. I still have regular periods and I do feel very slight cramp on right or left side at time that ovulation should occur. I have an ovulation detection kit and a basal thermometer chart. I am waiting for my period to start those 2 things.
Any help at all will be greatly appreciated. Thanks ladies and I pray you all conceive asap!

Hi Bev,
Fermara is a lot like Clomid, it helps the follicles grow. I take it cd 3-cd 7. I like it better than Clomid which I tried for two cycles. I did fermara off and on for 1.5 years and my results were just okay and only bfn. I have been natural since Jan. and I have actually gotten better results with vitamins and acupuncture. taking b6, b50, baby aspirin, wheat grass and macaroot. This cycle I did fermara, vitamins, and acupuncture and my results were the best I have ever had. So, hoping this is my cycle.
Just like clomid you go in for a check up before ovulation to check on follicles size and lining. Some do a tigger, I usually ovulate on my own. If you have more questions, let me know.

Hi,
I have high fsh and I am doing acupuncture to help. I also take wheat grass pills. I was doing natural cycles for the past 9 months and the past four with acupuncture had good results, with follicle size and lining, but didn't get pregnant, so I went back to fertility drug, fermara, but kept doing vitamins. Got great results, so praying that it is helping. My fsh has been 18- 20.
