High FSH Levels

[Cruis2211]

I just found out that I have an abnormally high FSH level. It's 12.5 and I'm 37. My doctor is not too hopeful about my conceiving and has refered me to a specialist. The specialist's nurse told me as I was making the appointment that my levels were so high, I would have a really hard tiem getting pregant and not to get my hopes up. Has anyone had levels like these or a similar problem. I'm so unhappy right now and can't stop thinking about it:

This is really to all trying to conceive with high FSH levels.  I went off birth control pills in 06 never had a period on my own after that several periods induced with progesterone. eventually went to a fertility doc my FSH was 98.3 after several induced periods my lowest FSH was 57.6.  I was a basket case.  All I wanted was to get pregnant.  My fertility doc said he knew of a study done in Australia on women with high FSH levels and IUI's.  These women were given compounded DHEA which brought down their FSH levels and were able to conceive with IUI.  He wanted to give it a shot.  I took the DHEA for 30 days tested my FSH level and it was 7.2!!!  We induced a period day 3 blood FSH level was 9.4 that was 11/5/07 I had my first IUI on 11/14/07 and had a positive pregnancy test on 11/27/07!!!  I am now 25 weeks pregnant with a baby girl and I owe my life to my fertility doctor and the specific women in Australia who started this study.  Too all women who are having trouble geting pregnant with high FSH levels DO NOT GIVE UP!!!! talk to your doctor about DHEA.
