Intro+FSH level question

in Trouble TTC

hi all! unfortunately I think it's my time to join you lovely ladies.

our story:

I am 25, DH is 28 and we have been married almost 2 years. Starting trying a year ago (off BCP since the August before that) and mid way through found out I only have one ovary (other was removed at 3 months old).

Started seeing an RE in January. did one month of Clomid (50mg) and took a month break as we were on vacation.

Here is the latest, after starting cycle monitoring for this month today:

Just came back from round 2 with the RE. Everything still looks great (13 follicles this month on my one lil ovary!) but last month my FSH level was 14.

she said they like to say 4, 5, 6, etc and my first month was 4, but the fact that there was a 14 shows there is a little bit of diminished ovarian reserve, which was a little expected due to the one ovary.

does anyone have any experience with this? should I be worried? the more research I am doing, the worse it looks. she put me in 100mg clomid this month as last month I produced just 1 egg on 50 and she wants to see 2 or 3.

    FSH isn't the only test to determine Ovarian Reserve... your Antral Follicle Count and AMH levels are important.  My FSH is  normal and I am DOR.   Since you only have one ovary I am not sure how that affects your test.  You shoul

    Sig warning

    Was that level taken after you came off of a Clomid (or other medicated) cycle?  If so, that is likely the reason your FSH was high.

    Based on a lot of research I have done over the past 2+ years, AFC and age seem to be the

    IF DX: DOR & Fragile X pre-mutation carrier
    2011: FSH 13.3 & E 99; AMH 0.54 2nd FSH 6.2 E 40's AFC: 8
    BFP from Clomid/IUI ~ Pre-e and IUGR during pregnancy ~ DS born 9/4/12
    Feb./March 2013: AMH less than 0.16 (undectable) and AFC = 4;
    BFP from supps ~ DS#2 due May 2014
