Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Welcome to HCM,
I can understand your worry,
If FSH is high , it decreases the chance of pregnancy .
I would suggest you to go for AMH test which tells exact chance to get pregnant as it is one of best tests to know ovarian reserve.consult your gynaecologist.
Ultrasound also helps to know ovarian reserve by measuring antral follicles testing and ovarian volume.
I will be happy to know the result of above mentioned test from you.so that I can suggest you further.
Do not lose hope.take healthy diet, avoid illness, start taking folic acid.
Good luck.
Feel free to ask further.
Hooe this helps.
Thanks.

As you have mentioned your ultrasound is normal.this suggests that ovaries might be structurally fine.
If possible ask your doctor about ovarian volume and antral follicular count which are detected during ultrasound.these two values also help to determine chances of conception.
As i mentioned earlier AMH is one of best tests to know ovarian reserve, Kindly get it done.
Hoping to hear from you with reports.

Hello my altrasound was not back so will ring up tomorrow. I was wondering if I can use clomid as it helps with the eggs. What do you think and do I need to be having regular periods for this. I have now missed 1 period going into 2 by the end of this month. Thanks XXXXXXX
Brief Answer:
important to know ovarian reserve before starting the drug.
Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXXXXX
For clomid to act, ovarian reserve should be adequate.
This will be determined by AMH levels and ovarian volume and antral follicular count (on ultrasound).
If there is ovarian failure, the drug will not help.
Having regular periods is not necessary to conceive.
As you are in perimenopausal age, that is why you may be missing periods.
Other than this, the pregnancy at this age would be a high risk pregnancy. There would be chances of miscarriage and chromosomal abnormalities in fetus.
So, I would advise against pregnancy at this age.
I understand that it would be difficult for you to accept this, but there are serious risks involved.
I wish you good health.
Take care.
Thanks.
