Ovarian Reserves
At 41 I got pregnant right away. It surprised us both. Sadly we lost our blueberry at 9 weeks. It’s been a year of TTC since.
I finally decided to get some blood work. They told me my ovarian reserve is low, which did not surprise me... I’m 1 month away from 42. Of course they started the
<a href="https://glowing.com/glow-fertility-program">IVF</a> talk which I quickly dismissed. I’m simply not interested plus my thyroid levels are normal.
They didn’t recommend it, but I learned about it, and decided to stop by the local clinic for a spontaneous 21-day progesterone check. Results were 17.1 😁 I’m still ovulating! My egg count is low but my ovaries are still doing their job.
I’m not interested in messing with my hormones with shots and pills, Nor do I desire to let them robe me of the few eggs I have left with their
<a href="https://glowing.com/glow-fertility-program">IVF</a> egg grabs.
I think I will continue to try naturally. I am willing to accept if it’s not meant to be. I have no children, my husband has no children but we are OK with that.
Good luck to all of us out there trying against the odds. Good luck to all of us for accepting whatever our future holds.
