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.
