Question

Antral follicle count

I'm 47 years old and had a scan yesterday that showed 6 follicles on left ovary and 2 very small on the right.

Is this good ?

8 or more is supposed to be good for IVF and if you don't get that many you might have more on a different cycle. I don't think 6 is pretty good for your age. Are you going to IVF or IUI? I'm 40 and a poor responder for IVF so my Doctor just wants to try IUI (I managed to have a baby naturally - despite this to aged 38)

Hi
Thanks - No - not on medication or going to IVF as currently single - had the scan to see if there was any chance of conceiving still, as perimenopausal. Need to think about what to do now.

Past age 45 you will most likely not find a clinic that will work with you on IVF. Clinics are trying to protect their statistics and rather not accept older women with low chances for conceiving through IVF. Why not try some clomid or Letrozole stimulated cycles. This could help get more mature follicles and enhance egg quality. The best wishes and the Lord's blessings.

I wrote that a bit wrong Tanelle I meant I think 6 is good. You could try IUI, it might take a couple of tries. This is what I am doing. I'm not a good cadidate for IVF but this didn't stop me getting pregnant, so I say go for it
