Forum: Premature Ovarian Failure (POF)

hi all, ive joined these forums as i wanted to give some hope to others diagnosed with the same condition. My husband and i had been trying on and off of around 2 yrs before we went to a dr to investigate further. 2 yrs and several drs later, i was diagnosed with POF at age 31.Drs came up with the...

Has anyone worked with Dr. Cardone? I have read that he is high-FSH friendly, but I would like to know just how friendly that is. My FSH has been 45, 105, 4.5, 19, and 28. I started to get my period again 2 months ago so now is the time if I want to do mini-IVF. I already spoke with Dr. Brasile...

Well, I am sure this the kind of infertility issue most of us have not ever expected. I certainly did not. I am 30 and my husband and I have been TTC for 14 months. I found out last month that my FSH is 13.9 and Estradiol 87 on CD3. My HSG was normal and progesterone level 12.2, which according to...

I was diagnosed POF at age 18 and since then I have been taking Estradiol Valerate (Climen, Bayer) for one month every 2 months. Every time I have taken Climen, my period has come at 28 days. No delays. Because my doctor told me I have very low chances of getting pregnant, I have been doing...

I was shocked yesterday to get a period for the first time in over a year. I was diagnosed with POF a few months ago. I have a period with cramps and everything, including bursting into tears yesterday morning for missing my exit on the highway (oh, how I've missed PMS :tongue:). I am...

I am wondering what your experience has been, if so. Thanks!

I am so lost right now! I need someone's advice I guess. I was just diagnosed with POF and am 24 years old. My Hubby and I really want children... and I would love to be pregnant. How do I know what is best for me?? Egg donor, embryo donor, adoption. Did anyone go through something similar? I need...

Hi! I'm wondering if anyone has been diagnosed with POF or DOR but still has a 'decent' FSH? I'm not sure where I fit into this world anymore. We just had our 3rd IVF and my egg quality sucked. We only got 3 eggs to fertilize and had to transfer 2 4cells on day 3 (ie, they were slow growers... :-(...

I was diagnosed with POF at the age of 26... For year of treatments and uncessful egg donor cycle , i have ovulated on my owe.. twice a year.. the same exact months.. the DR say NO! per the tests you cant!

I wanted to start this thread to get some success stories going. They serve as inspiration to us all.... Has anyone had success with own eggies and how?

Hello I am 35 yrs old, and have been diagnosed with POF since I was 27 yrs old. I have 1 child but used donor eggs. I am on Vivelle Dot Patches, and Prometium (Every other month), to get a withdrawl menstrual period. I have been getting my periods but only from using these hormones. Otherwise, I...

Hello ladies, I was just looking for women who were diagnosed with POF and have been going through Mini IVF as an alternative option other than Donor Egg IVF. I am 32 yrs old and was diagnosed about 2 years ago. My FSH was 65 and was recently informed that my only option is Donor Egg! I did some...

Hi everyone! I have only posted once before, but I wanted to share my story so far and perhaps get some much needed advice and support. I'm 32, going on 33, and I was diagnosed with POF last year. Up until 2008 I had been on the pill for years and years (but with occasional breaks). In 2008 I...

Hi, I am 29 and found out 6 months ago i have Primary Ovarian Insufficiency.. I also have type 1 diabetes and have been told by the doctor because of the autoimmune disease this has developed. I only found out because i was planning on having another baby. I had implanon in my arm for the full 3...

Hi ladies, I'm new to the forum. Thought i'd tell u my story and get some advice. I'm 28 & my DH is 29. I found out i was pregnant in Jan 09 and v were amazed cos we were not TTC. Guess it must've been an accident. But after 8 weeks i suffered a M/C and i was devestated. Started TTC in May 09...

Not an answer to my infertility, just a nice hello. I have posted at several other boards with no responses, please let me know I am not invisible:)

I'm new to this board and was just wondering if anyone knows of ANYONE who was able to conceive with high FSH levels. DH and I have been trying to conceive for about 2 years. I just turned 35 and had my first FSH test about a year ago by my GYN. My day 3FSH came back at 14.2 and my Dr....

After 8 years of trying to have a baby (including a failed IVF where I was diagnosed with POF and told that with all our problems we had less than a 1% chance of ever having a baby, even with help and that menopause was only two years away) I had a surprise conception. I had my beautiful miracle...

Hello! I thought I'd start a thread for success stories with FSH>40, where a success story is either pregnancy or successful ovulation induction if one was not ovulating at all before. Hoping that with time we will have some, and that they might give us hope & ideas :). Also if you know of any...

Hello, I am 33 and have been TTC for 7 months. I just spoke to the nurse at my clinic and she gave my the the followind day 3 results: E2=27, LH=8.67 and FSH=18.3. She said my doc was surprised at the FSH because "I had so many follicles" on my US. I am absolutely devastated about my FSH and feel...

The stats: I'm 39, single w/ a good donor friend (who will be a part of child's life, including $). FSH of 20.6 in Feb. '09 (horrible) just went up to 32 (beyond horrible, I know). Haven't had anything else (though the dye went through my tubes perfectly three years ago when I had my second...
