Need encouragement from women who have gotten pregnant naturally after the age of 35?
I am 38 and have one child. It took me 15 months to get pregnant with him, but we did it naturally, as the doctor didn't find any reason for the sub-fertility. Now, 3 years later, I am trying again. I got my day 3 blood work back and was encourage by the FSH and estrogen levels--all in the normal ranges. They did another blood test (AMH) which is a new test--I'm in France--which showed below normal levels. Dr. said that's to be expected by my age. He did a follicle count last time and counted 7. It's okay, he says, but I read on the internet that 15 is normal. So, anyway, I'm wondering if there is anyone out there with these same less than glorious results that got pregnant naturally? What will be the next step by the doctor? Are there drugs to help if I am ovulating already (isn't Clomid if you are not ovulating at all)? I don't think I would go as far as to try IVF, but think from my reading I wouldn't be a great candidate anyway b/c of low follicle count. Need encouragement.
