Hi,
I’m not sure if other women in this forum have faced this situation. Me & my husband are trying for the baby of our own and it is quite draining. It feels dead end and my confidence as a human being is almost shattered by what the doctors keep telling me..never thought I was very old till I’m told...I’m 42 and I’m embarrassed about my age even to put this thread out. Been trying for kids. I have no kids. Went to three private fertility clinics for ivf, done various endless repetitive blood tests, ultrasounds and the one where they pass ink in the vagina and do ultrasound to see that the path is clear,etc. My AMH is very very low .7pmol/l. The clinics have refused to do ivf. My periods aren’t regular since past 10 months and I’m recently diagnosed with hypothyroidism. Constantly being told that I’m old is just being self determination to my confidence. I’m not keen on egg donation. Looking at forums, I tried to used vitex and ashwagandha and primrose with vit E tablets along with thyroxine. It feels dead end and to be honestly very alone. It feels that my body is defective and it is old. I don’t have a very strong support system from family when it comes to this topic. I honestly don’t know what to do. NHS here in the UK won’t even look at you if you are over 38 or something and I had to get my thyroid test done privately as I researched online about my unexplained reason for weight gain. I’m 60kgs and 5’3”. I’m not sure if anything had success with getting pregnant naturally or via a fertility treatment. My last doctor at Harley street was sleeping in front of me throughout I was in tears while being told I can’t become pregnant cause my follicle count is low. His eyes kept closing throughout my conversation. It actually broke me. The fertility doctors in my experience lack sympathy and optimism positivity. They aren’t interested in you but your money. I don’t have courage to go to another doctor and go through it again. Please help! Any advice is appreciated. I’m in a roller coaster ride now and honestly feel very low very low. Please give your advice. Thank you.
