[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree that IVF will not do much for you as it is best used for those who can produce multiple eggs.  A high FSH is an indicator that your ovarian function isn't the best for IVF.  That's not to say go to donor eggs immediately unless you want to have a baby sooner than later. However, at your age with a high FSH, your odds of conceiving naturally are slightly better than your chances of succeeding with IVF. At this point, you are just looking for the good egg which is more dependent on timing and luck.

Anecdotal: One of my co-workers at 38 years of age had an FSH of 50 and her antral follicle count fluctuated between 0 to 1 each month. She spent a year and a half working on her diet (organic with no gluten) and taking supplements recommended from the book you mentioned. Before the end of the second year, she became pregnant and delivered a healthy baby the following year. Fast forward three years later at the age 43, she tried again for a second child. Two years later....nothing.

This interests me because my FSH is 38 and I had no idea. I am 43. Which book was mentioned?[/quote]

I think the previous poster was talking about the book “it starts with the egg.”[/quote]
