Gecko, your FSH levels are pretty high for your age, even at 12. I think what your FS is alerting you too is that the tests show your ovarian reserves may be low especially for your age.

I am assuming you have been TTC for 16 months since going off the pill?

Did your FS talk about premature ovarian failure? There are a couple of women on my other site that have experienced this in their 20s and 30s and while it is rare it does happen. It would be worth clarifying with your FS and learning more about the implications of this. This may be the reason the FS is talking about running out of eggs in the near future (but I don't think this is by any means guaranteed).

While herbalists may seem a good way to go and I recommend doing it whatever else you may be doing to TTC, including AC, it may be that you need to get onto what the problem is and learn about all your options sooner rather than waiting to see what herbs do.

If you want to chat to women in a similar position I recommend you google Aussie Egg Donors and register. It is a private forum and you need to apply which is very simple to do.

I note that some people do fall pregnant naturally with high FSH and getting onto a specialised regime like DHEA and herbs may help. However, while it may seem overwhelming and confronting right now, I think IVF is worth considering as an option in your situation too. I suppose what I am urging is that you don't discount it but investigate all your options so you can make the best informed decision possible.
