Ovary Size

in TTC after 35

Hi, popping over from TTCAL.

I just went ot see an RE after my M/C in January.  I'm 39 and decided that we needed not to wait to get a better idea of where we were.  At my RE appointment, we did an U/S and the RE commented that my ovaries were smaller than ideal. 

Does anyone have any info or details on what this can mean/ how important it is?  I will meet with the RE again once he gets my FSH and HSG results.  I'm terrified.  My FSH was 11.4 in 2008....

Thanks in advance!

    Try not to worry until you hear from the doctor. I know it is hard to not be terrified. I believe our ovaries shrink as we age and when we get to menopause. But please don't jump to that conclusion. I am so sorry about your m/c.  Try to focus on the fact that you DID just get pregnant so you have eggs in there even if the ovaries are a little smaller than typical. If it turns out your FSH has risen, come back to us. We have a lot of DOR ladies here. Hang in there and keep us posted.
