I am 43 years old this year and TTC for first baby

Anyone heard of success story ?

I am underweight and my FSH getting high. My period was late one week. Is this pms ?

I am trying for my first baby.

Do I still have hope ?
 


Jiayou!!! i'm oso 43 this year and same as you, still trying for my no.1.

Don't give up, keep trying.

Thanks ! I regret not trying consistently since 40 years when I first consulted a gynae. Cos I always get bloated and feel sick after BD and then rest month after month to avoid the unpleasant feeling. Should have tried tcm acupuncture early and take tcm medicine, etc.

I just made appt with the Dr Zhao at TCM Raffles Hospital. Another round of waiting and trying and waiting and trying.

Damn tired. But I see my niece and nephews all growing up and in preschool now. What a loser I am !
 
Don't think so negatively. What has past has past. Just move on and look forward. Maybe its meant to be that we can only have our little ones when we are older.
Jiayou jiayou!!!

Did you check with doc y u always feel sick after BD?
 
Don't give up! I have friends whom at age 40+ (up to 48), still conceive in the end.
Ivf, iui, fertility massage, healthy diet etc does help

Keep a positive mind!! I gave birth 2 a lovely gal when I was 40. After trying 4 many years... IUI (4 times) IVF (once) Preggy after my failed IVF when I was on a holiday...

I literally tried everything... FS, Chinese Sinsehs, Gynea...

Don’t give up! I’m trying with IVF (first time) after had a miscarriage 2 years back. My gf who’s the same age as me had her first kid 2 years ago after trying for 10 years in IUI, IvF & TCM.

By the way, I’m same age as you.

I just went for gynae consultation at gleneagles yesterday. The gynae did ultrasound and discover a polyp in my womb. He suggested d and c to remove the polyp. He said the polyp could be causing the infertility and he is positive about my condition.

He did not hard sell procedure like IVF. He just casually say if after the womb is cleared and still cannot conceive can go IUI.

I will still try natural way after I remove the womb polyp.


He shared that he once treated 2 mummies in their late 40s and helped them conceive. Both 49 years old, one is a first timer and the other is a mum with two kids looking to conceive third one.But then, he said it very very rare that women at that age still can conceive. Lol, should I be happy and feel relieve there is still hope ?

Yes. You are right. Must be positive and look forward.

I just went to see another gynae yesterday and he did ultrasound scan in my pelvic area and discovered a polyp in my womb. That could be the cause of sick feeling after BD. Ah, my guess only. Haha, but most impt thing to do now is to remove the polyp and try again. The gynae say if the polyp is there, implantation is impossible.

Finger cross. Lol

Rising FSH is usually linked with the start of a new cycle. But human biological functions are complicated. Hormones work in mysterious ways. So, I might be wrong.

Eggs will deteriorate very fast after 43. Whatever you want to do better hurry up.

She is my TCM doctor too :)
 
Go to a fertility specialist and not a normal gynae. I was reading your post n at 43 it’s best to just do ivf n not waste time on IUI. I tried from 37 n bfp only at 42. Started from iui n wasted one yr doing it with a gynae instead of fertility expert. N yes a woman reserves dropped as we age so it’s better to do start ASAP.

FSH is tested on day 2 of your cycle. If it’s high meaning that cycle may not yield many eggs n would not respond well with stimulation jab.
