High FSH and a worried husband

Hello all. My partner, who is 36, has just had an FSH reading of 25. We’ve been ttc for a year with no luck. We’ve been immediately put on an IVF waiting list and have more blood work to do. We know from what we’ve read - and we’ve read a lot - that we probably won’t be offered IVF with her eggs and will instead be suggested going the route of a donor. (There’s nothing wrong with using a donor, of course, but we’re not quite ready to give up the dream yet.)

We are now concentrating on improving her ovarian health. New diet, meditation, massage, acupuncture etc.

I am here to seek advice and experience. Has anyone overcome such a problem? Can anyone suggest anything?

We are, right now, very much in shock and extremely worried that we’ll never have a baby. I should add that it’s been a very stressful year and that it’s top of our list to try and reduce that stress.

Please, there must be some light to look at?

Hi, I didn't want to read and run. I'm so sorry that you and your partner are going through this. It all sounds really stressful and upsetting for you both. My husband and I suffered our own fertility battles for 3 years (the fault was my end) and the guilt and longing is horrendous. I'm sorry I don't have any knowledge or advice for you as I am unfamiliar with your partners issues. I just wanted to say that my husband got me through this. He never blamed me, he always said I was enough. We planned holidays (difficult in these times), took me away for the weekend, he made me laugh and took my mind of things as infertility can be all consuming. He was my rock. You seem like a wonderful partner (posting on here) and I'm sure you already do but please take care of each other. I hope you get some answers from more experienced people on here that will help.
