Pregnant after FSH of 16

As a member of the medical profession, I was well aware of the challenges to conception at my age of 36. I was also very concerned about my own abnormal thyroid and elevated FSH of 16.

I met with my reproductive endocrinologist to discuss doing a round of Clomid. I was shocked when she refused to prescribe Clomid for me. She said that I was in full ovarian failure and that my only option was IVF. With my age and FSH level, she recommended that I get started immediately. I had gotten pregnant easily and delivered our son just 3 years ago, so I couldn't understand how she was so sure that I was in full ovarian failure.

My husband and I elected an alternative path with Amelia and were able to achieve pregnancy after a few months of charting cycles, acupuncture treatments, and herbal supplements. I am so grateful to Amelia not only for her therapy, but her continued optimism and confidence that a healthy pregnancy would occur! Thank you Amelia for your thoughtful care and for giving me peace of mind.
