OK where do i start ive missed a bit had been doing extra shifts at work but it seems we have a RANGA convention going on in here.

Craftmummy-ok 44 is getting to the end of your fertile period but we have to be honest we all get older and with it the end of our baby making years BUT! as you were pregnant not that long ago it is a good sign you still have eggs left it is the quality of those eggs that can be a problem my FS said women can still have a few eggs left and be well away from the big M but be unable to fall pregnant as the egg quality prevents conception or implantation i am 35 and have a heap of eggs left and my mother didnt go through the big M until 56 the FS said she would expect me to be the same but that doesnt mean i can get pregnant until im 56 my eggs are 35 years old and have taken a beating over the years with all the stupid things we do as youngsters the way the FS put it was out of all the eggs left some will be good others can be no good so i need to wait for the month that a good egg pops and hope we catch it anyway the years leading up to the big M is when FSH levels go up E2 levels go down and eggs diminish and become fragile so it all depends on how those 44 year old eggs have faired over your life some womens do great until 46-47 others start to go down hill in there early 30's but a good test to have is a antral follicle count between day 5 and 9 of your cycle and a FSH test on day 2 or 3 of your cycle that will at least give you an idea of if you still have a good number of eggs left the FSH needs to be 12 or under but they prefer under 10 women have fallen pregnant with levels over 20 but it is very difficult all i can say is i wish i was as fertile as i used to be then maybe i would have another 9 years of baby making left in me and make it to 44 like you but as my FSH levels were on the high end of normal at 8.0, 9.6 and 10.5(they can fluctuate month to month i got a little worried but my FS is not as i had heaps of eggs but i do wonder if maybe my eggs are on walking frames and going grey around the edges but only time will tell and to be honest im s###ing myself to.
