44 years old and Premenopausal

Hi I am told by my doctor that I am pre menopausal, my periods have been on and off for about a year, I do still have them though about every 2-3 months and somtimes every month. The question is we want more children and are wanting no egg donation due to religious beliefs. I want to try myself - are you still able to help? I have been told you havent had any births using anyone own eggs over the age of 43. I still want to no if it could be possible for me to conceive this way. If so would want to get the costs ect known and so on. Thanks

If you are peri-menopausal you still have a very small chance of conceiving naturally. I would advise you to have your hormone levels checked by your GP and they should be able to give you advice on the chance of success.
