This is my first time posting. I was 40 this month. I had my day 3 blood tests done 6 months ago and I had an fsh value of 8 with an oestrogen level that was within the normal range. Because all of my blood tests were normal I decide to delay going to a fertility clinic. Each month I felt I was ovulating normally with positive opk results and all other physical signs i.e. ovulation pain, increased temps. I did have a short cycle (24 to 25 days) but my doctor told me that that did matter. I had been on the contraceptive pill for about 10 years and my cycle had returned to normal straight away. When after a year of trying, I still was not pregnant, I decided to ask my doctor to refer me to a fertility clinic. Then, in preparation for my fertility appointment, I had my day 3 tests done again. I was shocked to find my oestrogen level had doubled and my fsh level was now 13.5. I believe I did not ovulate this month either for the first time since coming off the pill. It will be confirmed with my 7dpo blood test but my af started on cd18 so there is no way really. I am still in shock because I know what this means. Within 6 months my fsh level has jumped from 8 to 13.5. I am so angry with my doctor. When I went to my doctor this week she told me the re-test results were fine. When I asked her to read them and said I was shocked she then started to look closer but had no idea what the results meant. Either that or she wanted the fertility specialist to break the bad news to me. She laughed when I asked her for a print out and joked that I would be trawling through the internet that night looking for comparisons. I was shocked by my results and was shocked by her attitude. I'm shocked that this has all happened so fast, and am terrified that I won't get to try ivf now with such bad results. I know the chances of success would be slim too. But I'm going to try every avenue now and fast. That is all I can do. I know I have left this so late in life but I would love to have a child with my partner whom I love so much. It is my dream. I feel my my dream is slipping away but I will still try not to loose all hope.
