My 44 year old friend just had a baby girl

My 44 year old friend just had a baby girl. Her FSH was usually around 30.

It was 17 on cycle day 2 the month she got pregnant - low stim. natural pregnancy. ...meaning she took a little Gonal F and Cetrotide that month.

She had done 3 or 4 IVF [In Vitro Fertilization] all BFN [big fat negative - pregnancy test]. She followed Randine Lewis' diet, stress reduction, supplements....

She thinks LIT [lymphocyte immune transfusion] may have been an important key.

LIT is an immune therapy like IVIG [Intra-venous Immunoglobulin Therapy] - Micha

The Infertility Cure: The Ancient Chinese Wellness Program for Getting Pregnant and Having Healthy Babies
by Randine Lewis

-- Infertility affects one out of six couples today.

Dr. Lewis presents a groundbreaking alternative approach to infertility, explaining how she used traditional Chinese medicine to treat her own infertility, successfully conceiving and giving birth to two children.

In Lewis's experience, women who have undergone three to six months of the dietary changes, herbs and acupuncture treatments become pregnant with no further effort.

Lewis intersperses her somewhat technical examination of the program with anecdotes about her patients, weaving in discussions on diet, herbal supplements, acupuncture, older women and problems related to infertility.

About Catherine: I am mom to three grown sons, two grandchildren and two rescue dogs. After years of raising my boys as a single mom, I remarried a wonderful man who had never had a child of his own. Unexpectedly, I found myself pregnant at 49!
Sadly we lost that precious baby at 8 weeks, and decided to try again. Five more losses, turned down for donor egg, foster care and adoption due to my age and losses - we have accepted that there will be no more babies in our house.
