Hi everyone, we are finally after trying for over a year (fell pregnant naturally but miscarried) going for IVF at SIVF. I was sent to have all my tests and the Dr rang me late on Friday to let me know that although my ultasound showed that I had 10 follicles (which he said was good) my FSH levels were high - 15. Understand 10 and below are normal. He said my FSH levels considerably lowers my chances of a successful IVF however, the fact that I had 10 follicles was a good sign and bettered my chances slightly.

Being new to this, I'm not sure what it all means, and he is away next week. I feel gutted as we had pinned our hopes on IVF and to be told that our chances were lower was devastating news for us. Does anyone know what it means and why high FSH levels aren't good, and is there anyone out there who has fallen pregnant (naturally or IVF)despite having high FSH levels.

Any information/advise would be great.

Thanks

Sherm
