You are so very generous. I have been reading your website and I couldn't find a way to send you an email, so I am leaving both a comment on a post, and a message through facebook. Please forgive me if you have already answered this question. I am 41 and while I have no problem getting pregnant, I have miscarried 3 times (twice at 12 weeks). Two of the times I had a heartbeat and the last time the embryo apparently stopped developing at 10.5 weeks (my cervix was tightly closed, but I was bleeding a little and a sonogram revealed the problem). I just received my progesterone/FSH/estradiol results. I was tested in my luteal phase: Progesterone: 5.84 FSH: 8.7 Estradiol: 109 Considering my age, and from my limited knowledge, it seems like my FSH and Estradiol levels are not out of whack. However, could you please let me know what you think about my progesterone level. It seems low to me. Also, of course if you have any input as to my FSH and Estradiol levels, I would love to hear it. Thank you so very much for your time, as you can imagine, at my age I very eagerly await your response. Lucy Thank you so much for your willingness to share information. You are so very generous.

I was tested in my luteal phase:
Progesterone: 5.84
FSH: 8.7
Estradiol: 109

Considering my age, and from my limited knowledge,
it seems like my FSH and Estradiol levels are not out of whack.

However, could you please let me know what you think about
my progesterone level. It seems low to me.

Also, of course if you have any input as to my FSH and Estradiol levels, I would love to hear it.

Thank you so very much for your time, as you can

I had an FSH of 23 when I was trying to concieve our second child. I was told by a Doctor in NY that I would never conceive my own child and that he would not consider doing IVF on me and I should go straight to egg donation. Fortunately, I met Drs in different parts of the world whose objective it is to take the hardest cases and get women pregnant, rather keeping their clinics stats high. So I went through 5 rounds of IVF. I did not get one egg retrieved, but the last Dr used a combination of DHEA and Testosterone, which I feel really worked. I got pregnant naturally one month after the last IVF cycle and now we have our perfect little boy, a fabulous pal for our daughter. It was a dream come true. So don't believe all you hear, don't obsess, but do the research and challenge your doctors. Also, I think a fertility diet helped.

At 31, my husband and I decided to try for a family - unsure of the outcome. I came off the pill in May 2006 and got pregnant right away but it only last 3 weeks. After that time I did not get my period for 6 months and went to see an OB. I charted my temp., had blood work (my FSH was 13) and was sent for a dye test to check my tubes. Within a week of the dye test I was pregnant in February 2007. I had a very successful pregnancy and now have a beautiful daughter. After that I went back on BCP until August 2009. I have not yet had a period. I recently went back to my OB who did blood work again and put me on 5 days of progeseterone to induce a period. I have been cramping but no period only scant spotting. I was supposed to go for a follow-up visit but received a call that I was being referred to a Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility Program because my OB "did not like" my blood work. I got a copy of the report that said my FSH is 111 LH 66 and prolactin 4. I am scared and do not know what options will be. Is it possible that my high FSH is because of the pill and I need to give it more time? Thanks Hi,

My husband has shown an cero movility in his sperm. I ve been advised ICSI treatment, planning to do it in 4 months. A second opinion advise to put me on birthcontrol pill to "put the ovaries to rest" for the next 4 months and to try an IVF treatment. Will the pill put my ovaries to rest as the dr. said or might they cause a further damage? Many thanks, your answer is very much appreciated.

I was diagnosed with cancer of the uterus 2 years ago. I had 3 days to decide if I would agree to a radical hysterectomy and with that being my best chance for cure agreed and went through with the surgery. My Specialist retained my ovaries and moved them up higher into my abdomen to avoid the radiation field. I have had one blood test around 2 months after the treatments which showed FSH at around 100, I understand this is high and not a good sign however I would like to know if this means that I no longer have eggs? My husband and I would like to have frozen some eggs and had a surrogate, in your experience what are the chances of me having any live egss? Your thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Is it worth having some tests done to confirm, and if I am not ovulating can I still have eggs that can be removed and frozen? I am 31 years of age. I know that the chemotherapy I had can induce a temporary menopause but understand that it may be too late for me now. Thankyou so much. Hello,
