Hi girls.. I'm 39 in December. TTC #1, and yesterday had my AFC done by ultrasound. Until yesterday I had no idea as to what my chances were of ttc. My GP referred us to a FS simply due to my age & not wanting to waste time.
I've had all the bloods done:
FSH
LH
Oestadiol
Progesterone
Prolactin
TSH
AMH
... And today I have my 2nd FS appt to discuss results etc.
And I'm petrified now that with an AFC of 8, that my options are now basically crap. I wasn't totally naive before- I know 38 is no spring chicken.. But now I'm feeling kind of hopeless.. Trolling the net & reading all sorts of forums & websites has just about done me in. I'm worried I'm gonna start balling my eyes out at the appt too.. Not that I really care about that, but I feel so fragile that everything feels hopeless. I feel old & like my expiry date is up!! Ironically I look much younger than 38 so people keep saying 'oh you'll be fine, you'll be pregnant in no time!' Now I'm worried that we won't even be offered IVF!!
Anyone here got any pearls of wisdom or personal experience with this?? What options were you given? What did/ didn't work? Success stories would be amazing..
