Successful at 44

My doctor has had success using the Estrogen Priming Protocol.

This protocol consists of an estrogen patch or Estrace tablets started about day 21 in the cycle before stimulation.

This has been very successful in bringing down FSH [follicle stimulating hormone] levels, which is a real benefit to women with borderline ovarian reserve.

This is similar to the protocol my friend Patti recently used to successfully get pregnant at 44 years old.

Yeah, Patti!!

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.
