Age 50 and a 6.6 FSH level, can I still conceive?

I would like to have a baby and have had a few FSH tests.. the most recent was 6.6.. It was also discovered a few weeks ago that my thyroid was under active and a TSH test read 15.1.. by implementing lifestyle changes and self-medicating with 100mg of thyoxin per day, it now is back to 2.8 and in normal range.. Does my FSH level mean I am still fertile and am able to conceive?

I'm not sure what all those numbers mean, but if ur still having a regular period, then the best way to see if u can get pregnant is to try!  but at ur age I would probably use a fertility lubricant to aid in the sperm getting to the egg it's called Preseed.  I do know that as u get older ur body doesn't make the cervical mucus needed to aid the sperm adequately, so that may help.  Also have ur partner take Fertilaid vitamins for men to help boost sperm count and motility.  Try those things and see what happens.  It's a lot cheaper than going to a fertility clinic and there r countless positive reviews on the products.  I even used preseed to help me get pregnant and I'm now 17 wks. Goodluck!
