Hello,
I found this site after finding Julia's book in the bookstore after an ultrasound on day 3 of my cycle showed only a few follicles on each side. I just turned 31 and my doctor said it looked like that of a 37 year old. The doctor made it sound like my chancing of conceiving would be slim. I was in total shock. Can someone explain to me how follicles work, because I have read on here and the nurse also mentioned that follicles the next month can be higher in number. So what effects this? I was also really stressed/depressed in the few weeks leading up to the appointment could this have any effect? I would really like a better understanding as I am trying to educate myself the best I can. I did call for my blood work results I took that day and they said my fsh was normal to them at 13 and only thing was prolactin was 29 so they want me to recheck b/c the result could possibly be from stress.
So glad I found Julia and this community. My husband has a low sperm count so we always thought we may have to do artificial insemination or ivf. But after reading her book and going through this site I believe for the first time we can get pregnant naturally. Thank you to everyone who shares on here, I have been going through the message board and it gives me so much hope!
