Advanced age -low hormonal level

Dear mums,
I had a miscarriage, I am 45 , natural conception after I took some supplements. I will start an IVF cycle ASAP and I am completely desperate. My estrogen level is 33 and FSH is 15, was 13 two months ago. I have extremely stressful life with no expectation this to be changed due to circumstances(taking care for severly ill older person, also in process of divorce, moving homes, financial stress as well)
I only want to use my own eggs, other options are just not comfortable for me.
Even if a miracle happens and I conceive, I wonder how can a healthy baby grow given my low hormonal levels.
I do not want to use artificial hormones if pregnancy occurs, I know I will have to during stimulation but afterwards I don't want to.
I would appreciate if any of you has answer or better- experience in similar circumstances.
I am well aware that my chances of having the dream baby with my own egg are extremely low, I have been discouraged tremendously by several doctors.

I'm afraid I don't understand why you wouldn't want to use medications to maintain a healthy pregnancy if conception occurs, particularly given that the conception itself will be realised through the use of hormones...

I'm afraid I don't have any experience that matches your situation closely enough, but if it was me, I would take anything that increased the chances of me successfully carrying a baby to term.
