Hello I'm 42 I had a FSH level of 13.  We have been trying to conceive for over 4 years.  A Dr also recommended egg donation.  I got a second opinion from the Center for Human Reproduction in NY.  CHR prescribed DHEA,  and I took it for 3 months while waiting for my IVF.  I happy to report that I never made it to IVF.  I had a spontaneous pregnancy, Im eight weeks.
