Congratulations! That is such exciting news. Your FSH number shouldn't worry you if you are pregnant, it is more an indicator of getting pregnant. It indicates low ovarian reserve. All it takes is one good egg and you seem to have gotten it! As for the other risks, problems are still very rare but do happen. There have been alot of women on here over 40 that have had healthy successful pregnancies! take care of yourself and congrats again!
I am so happy for you, did your ob give you progesterone? That helps the lining! Dontblet ant one rain on your parade! I know, we all know at over 40 there are risks, yes there are tests, many woman on this site have healthy babies at your age, I am 44 and in my 2ww! Yes I'm afraid, but I will not dwell on that until I know it for sure, I don't know if you are new, but if you are you will see so many woman on here to give you love, hope, information and encouragement, we hear it all the time...blah blah blah, your eggs are old, you'll never get pg, you name it we've heard it! I'm praying for you!
Love Melanie
Congrats on the pregnancy at 43 and being it was natural, is certainly wonderful. I do not have much encouragment except it is well known that more advanced age and 'old eggs' tends toreally increase the risk of down syndrome. I would think youre going to get your ultra sounds and perhaps and amnio or CVS test done? That will definitely let you know if your fetus is healthy. Also, a 2mm lining of your uterus.. that is also amazing as I think the lining should be between 7,, and 10mm. One would think you have beat the odds so far but I still believe you may be at risk of miscarrying- what does your OB think of this? I would love to hear about your progress- please keep us informed.
