New here... intro & FSH question

in TTC after 35

Hi there. I'm no stranger to the nest, but I've never posted here on the bump. So, hi to everyone. Quick intro, I have two children - a 13 year old DD, and a 15 month old DS.  I had one m/c before DS, and two afterwards - my most recent one in January.  We started seeing an RE last month and had some testing done (karyotyping on both of us; RPL b/w; CD3 b/w, and a hysterosonogram).  Last night was our follow up visit.  Seems that we are mostly "normal" - but my FSH level was slightly elevated at 10.9; she said they like it to be less than 10.  I wonder if this is the reason for our m/c's. 

Anyone else with multiple miscarriages have an elevated FSH?  Anyone go on to have a successful pregnancy? 

I read a few posts here about FSH and saw wheatgrass mentioned; I'd love more info on that if anyone has used that for better luck w/TTC.

Thanks ladies!

    Hey Kristen! Doing ok, chemo is almost done, so that's encouraging. 

    I hope you are able to find an answer about your fsh levels. The ladies here are very helpful.

    Its not that high. Over 15 is cause for concern but there are plenty of women who get pregnant with a higher than normal fsh. Wheatgrass and lots of antioxidants...

    I am not reg here but am on tttc and I always seek out these ques b/c I had a "high/normal" level too once (at age 32) and RE got very aggressive with treatment. That is really the key, once you have the #, just get a plan in place b/c it could indicate that you have a lower amount of good eggs. I also had a miscarriage the month after the higher count, so it def could be related. My # went down though btw. That said I am still doing IVF, we alos have a amale factor.

    Thanks for the warm welcome! caityr, thanks for the info about FSH levels.  My RE doesn't have much of a "plan" in place other than progesterone supplements when I do get pregnant... she just said that my ovaries are aging ("Not much you can do about that, except to hurry up" or something to that effect).
