46y, 1st pregnancy, FSH of 65

Catherine McDiarmid-Watt | Thursday, November 30, 2006 | 0 comments

We had a amazing story today.... Sort of a slap in the face to all the docs who kept poo-pooing this wonderful patient:

46 year old....never been pregnant.....highest FSH [follicle stimulating hormone] : 65!!!!!!!!! (Cycle Day 2, Estrogen [E2]: 102 so the FSH was really much higher)

Several IUIs [Intrauterine insemination] (IVF [In Vitro Fertilization] with own eggs not an option in our clinic if over 42 or FSH over 15...whatever)

DE [donor egg] speech over and over and over. Last cycle...LTZ with boosting. One follie.

*************PREGNANT*************
bHCG [beta Human Chorionic Gonadotropin] : 20,000 !!!!!!! (She didn't do a HPT [home pregnancy test] since she just knew there was no chance. Finally broke down after no period for 4ish weeks.)

About Catherine: I am mom to three grown sons, two grandchildren and two rescue dogs. After years of raising my boys as a single mom, I remarried a wonderful man who had never had a child of his own. Unexpectedly, I found myself pregnant at 49!
Sadly we lost that precious baby at 8 weeks, and decided to try again. Five more losses, turned down for donor egg, foster care and adoption due to my age and losses - we have accepted that there will be no more babies in our house.
