need some encouragement--high FSH

[lilmamatoW]

So, when I got pregnant with my daughter (who is now 2) six weeks into marriage, I thought, "well, that wasn't so hard..." I was 37 when I gave birth to her and am now 39. I was pregnant for 9 weeks and 3 days this past winter, but lost the baby. Since then for the last seven months, we have been TTC. First naturally and then after months of frustrating OPKs, determined I wasn't ovulating. So dr put me on clomid. Her only concern initially was that my fsh was 9.3, and they want to see it under 10. Yesterday, CD4, went for bloodwork and monitoring to start clomid cycle 2 at 100mg...and FSH came back at 12. I was told that I would probably only have one or two more cycles before I am referred to a specialist. So, here I am thinking...maybe my first pregnancy was a fluke...because here I am at 39 and it seems like I am in early stages of menopause and the chances of a #2 seem slim. I need to know that clomid works and that high fsh isn't a barrier to healthy pregnancy. Anyone out there who can provide that for me today? Thanks so much in advance.

I know there are ladies on here with high fsh ( 13 and up ) and still managed to get pg and deliver healthy babies because I've read their stories!! I just can't remember where!! Sorry I am not much help....I hope someone steps up with a good story soon for you!! I am also 39 and my fsh was 9.1 in Feb of this year...I am too chicken to get it done again because I am also a worrier....
Good Luck

Well, i don't know what I had with my first, but I know in June I had FSH of 28. The concern is that you'll impede ovulation. I know for fact after starting vitex (via FertilAid supplement), that I ovulated. And TWICE in one cycle. So, FSH 10-13, no problem. You may want to look into that (vitex for ovulation help) and Siberian Ginseng (to help plump that lining and make it beanie friendly).

G'luck,

I did some research on wheatgrass and am going to start taking it. Hopefully, it will help.
