Forum: High FSH and Premature Ovarian Failure

Hi everyone. This is my first official post and I can't find an intro board. I have premature ovarian failure, so I decided to introduce myself here. My name is Nikki and I'm a 32 year old living in NYC. I was diagnosed almost 4 months ago (tomorrow makes 4 mos) and I've been wading through my...

So, I have DOR and the doctor is recommending a few rounds on injectibles + timed intercourse followed by IVF if the injectibles alone fail. My question: Since my cycles are like clockwork every single month (ovulation day 14 or 15), wouldn't the reason I'm not pregnant be an egg quality issue?...

I really need to hear some natural cycle success stories! Please?

Let's start up a new thread for the next couple of months. Maybe this will kick start some more activity on here :) Where is everyone at? How is everyone doing?

Hi Everyone, I recently found out that I am a premutation carrier for Fragile X. My genetic counselor suggested I get tested for POF even though I am not actively TTC. I would like to know before I start that journey what I may be up against. I talked to my nurse midwife (who I see for...

Hi ladies, I'm turning to you because I couldn't find a forum for someone like me. I was diagnosed with POF/DOR in 2009 at AGE 30 when trying to conceive baby #2. I got baby #2 &#3 from my 1st IVF. Now I think menopause is starting. I get hot flashes, extreme mood swings...tears, rage,...

Hi guys, *pg mentioned* I`m only 30 but my periods have already started to become irregular (no temp spikes), alternating long and short cycles, random CM, inadequate luteal phase. I also have lots of hot flashes and night sweats. I did have a baby eight months ago, but i`ve fully weaned for...

Hey ladies, I just got a new DX from my RE. After running a ton of labs on DH and me, he found a low AMH and Low FSH. AMH 0.63, FSH 4.20, LH 2.68, Estradiol 23.5 Then after the Lupron Challenge Test my FSH 5.91, LH 10.93 Estradiol 123.8 What does low FSH and low AMH mean? Has anyone...

Hi everyone, My husband (26yrs old) has a family history of needing varicocele surgery in order to have kids. So he went in last week to do a SA and we werent surprised when it came back badly, not worried about that yet because the surgery seems to work for his family members. Trying to stay...

Hi all- my IVF that was converted to an IUI (estrogen priming protocol) seemed to work as I am almost 6 wks along and my first u/s is Friday- I am very cautious yet optimistic that this was a good egg and I am anxious to enter the second trimester and get this worry over with. I still cant...

Hi Everybody. Just wanna say hi. I signed up for this to read about all the success stories, so I won't drive myself crazy by worrying. :) I'm 37 yrs old and got off birth control on March 3rd. I had been on it a little over a year. Because we have early menopause in my family (aunt 38-39...

Hello to all, I have never started my own thread and I have only responded to one, so I am kind of new. To make a long story short, I am 28 years old. I stopped taking BCP in Sep. 2010. Didn't see AF for 3M, so I took progesterone. It worked that month, then I had sporadic periods for 6 months,...

I originally found this site when we were TTC #1 a few years ago. After 35 cycles (several IUIs and two failed IVFs) we were successful and we now have a DS. We've been TTC #2 for 9 cycles now. I'm charting BBT and using opks, but emotionally and financially returning to our RE is off the table for...

5 unsuccessful IUI cycles, 4 failed IVF cycles (didn't even get to retrieval) due to low response to stimulation meds (only 1 follicle every time). Doc thinks this is due to Premature Ovarian Failure & is recommending a Donor Egg (we already use Donor Sperm due to husband's genetic azoospermia...

Hi everyone, I was a very active member of this board in 2009 and 2010 when I was diagnosed with DOR at the age of 30. My highest fsh was 28. My first ivf attempt resulted in a beautiful, healthy pair of IDENTICAL twins! Fast forward to now...my girls are 16 months old. Ive been feeling...

I am 37 years old and have had 3 mcs over the past 12 months (9 weeks, 6 weeks, 5 weeks) after the second one they did some blodd tests and determined I had an MTHFR gene mutation, they put me on an additional 4mg of Folic Acid and a low dose aspirin a day and said that should fix it. After the...

Hello there! Well, I'm very brand new to this forum. I'm a 42-year old living in France and I've been with my lovely Frenchman for 4 years. We just had been "removing barriers" and hoping for the best. When nothing was happening - and I noticed changes in my cycle (longer, shorter, spotting) I...

Hello ! Although I am by now means new to TTC and the ups and downs its only till today that i have had to face my latest news on my fertility or rather lack there of. I saw a FS on the 16th March and today its been confirmed that I have Premature Ovarian Ageing. I received the lowest result...

Hi there everyone. So I was looking at my claims that UHC paid to Cornell and it seems that UHC is paying them MORE for a cycle than if I were to pay out of pocket. That ends up gyping me out of a cycle essentially because they are paying ~15K where out of pocket is somethink like $11K. I do...
