in TTC after 35
Just wanted to introduce myself..... ?married and off the pill for about 4 years. ?Had multiple "good" reasons to put off ttc. ?Tried, but didn't really try. ?Suddenly I'm 38 and worried that I waited too long to do something about it. ??Have been to my OBGYN and had 3 day bloodwork:FSH=8.2AMH=1.8LH=6.1TSH=3.7?I know that none of these numbers are great, but seem somewhat within range for my age. ?Also had HSG...no dye in left tube, but dr thought it was a spasm. ?I have an appt at the Jones Institute (RE) on Wednesday.... any advice? ?Hubby is scheduled to have SA on Wed as well.Thanks Ladies!?

    Hi! ?I am 39 and wonder if I waited too long as well, but DH and I have only been married since Nov. '07. ?I have been seeing an RE since last May, and we have definitely had some obstacles to overcome. ?As soon as AF arrives we will be moving on to IUI #2 and then IVF if necessary.

    Your numbers don't look bad to me. ?FSH under 10 is considered good! ? I don't know what AMH is???? ?Your TSH can be a problem though. ?I am doing battle with this one myself. ?Many studies have suggested that TSH should be under 2 for pregnancy. ?Mine was a whopping 135 last summer, and we have got it down to 2.6 as of my last test. ?I still want it to go down more!

    Anyway, that's a little about me. ?Welcome to the board and good luck!?

    Your numbers look OK to me. I had a TSH of 3.2 and still got pg naturally (I'm 38 too). You might want to take some Thyroid Support capsules, I bought some at Whole Foods last November. Good luck!
    Me: 44 DH: 42. DS born healthy at 40 weeks 8/24/09. TTC since then with no luck or ART. Surprise BFP 8/6/14... MMC @ 8 weeks 4 days... Miss you everyday sweet baby angel.

    Hi there....I am pretty new too. Welcome!

    I think alot of women (me for sure included) muse about that "waiting too long" feeling. I know I do.  

    Besides being lovely, the ladies on these boards are soooo knowledgable about so much stuff, I learn from them!

    GL!
