I'm 31 and recently diagnosed w/ POA (19 FSG and .2 AMH). I just had a COH cycle(300 Follistim and 150 Menopur)cancelled on day 6 due to no follicles. My RE at Carolina Conceptions has given up, she wont consider DHEA and wants me to think about donor eggs. I spoke with another RE at Duke who willing to do IVF after taking DHEA and if I have successful COH cycle. I was just wondering if anyone has any experience w/ Duke in NC or if anyone has experience w/ DHEA?

I can't help with much but i can say that my FSH levels are also hight at 12.5 ( I am 29) and when i checked on this board i heard stories from women with FSH levels as high as yours and were able to get pregnant through IVF - so nothing is impossible.

GOOD LUCK!

Do you know if you actually still ovulate?

Hello Til, Thanks for the support. I still menstruate and ovulate but my cycles are irregular and my egg reserve is diminished. POA is like being premenopausal at an early age.

I noticed you are in finance from your profile. What type of finance? Im in risk management but came from a financial background. :) Chelle

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
