Hello - we have been trying to conceive for years and only recently had a consultation with a doctor. I am 44 but in better shape than when I was in my 20’s. I Eat healthy never smoked no health issues rarely sick, lots of energy. I truly thought I was going to be an exception- nope …my follicule count was at 8 after the ultrasound last month and doctor told us <a href="https://glowing.com/glow-fertility-program">IVF</a> will give us a 10% chance to conceive.

That being said, I dont regret not having a baby sooner in life. Growing up seeing the women around me being trapped in abusive marriages with children to take care of, alone, despite being in a relationship scared me to bits and I made a promise to only have a baby when I met the right person. Well that didn’t happen until I was 40. Yet society makes me feel so damn selfish. Even my GP made a face when I said we were trying. Society needs to give up this idea that it’s selfish to have a baby at this age. Its not the 19th century here. People are living longer and healthier. Its so not selfish - if anything its selfish not to even think about the consequences of having a child with anyone you meet just because your younger.

Anyway (rant over) doctor told us not to bother with AI but given the monetary motivation (<a href="https://glowing.com/glow-fertility-program">IVF</a> is four times the cost of AI) I want to try at least once with AI as it is less invasive - anyone here have successfully gotten pregnant at this age with AI?

Also anyone here been on androgel? The label says not to be on it longer than three weeks but the doctor said three months!!
