Abstract

PURPOSE:

To determine if a woman over age 45 with elevated serum follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) levels in the early follicular phase could still successfully conceive.

METHODS:

Female partner was treated with guaifenesin to improve cervical mucus quality and vaginal progesterone in the luteal phase. Careful monitoring of follicular maturation was performed.

RESULTS:

A successful pregnancy after 14 months of progesterone therapy was achieved.

CONCLUSIONS:

It is possible for a 46-year-old infertile woman with elevated serum FSH to achieve a pregnancy even when the male partner is taking calcium channel blockers for heart problems.
