Brief Answer:
Need more information.

Detailed Answer:
Hello ma'am,
Thanks for trusting hcm about your health care.
I have gone through your history and understand your concerns.
If FSH level is more than 15-20than it may cause decrease fertility.
In your case as you are 50 yrs.old it is quite difficult to conceive naturally but before giving my opinion I want a detailed description from you and your and husband other reports ( ultrasound, hormonal profile,semen analysis).
Are you suffering from any disease and taking any medication?
Your detailed period history?
Are you ovulating or not?
Hope to hear from you soon.
Good luck.

have never had maybe 20 periods my whole life, then never regular, no disease
the only meds I take is a over the counter sleeping pill or Tylenol
been having hot flashes for awhile now. this is first week off depo shot in more than almost 22 years and never had period on depo. it is my concern can a person get pregnant t 50 and does 25.3 fsh put me a much less risk.
my doctor seems to think I can not get pregnant at my age and fsh level but I am truly concerned

Brief Answer:
You may get pregnant.

Detailed Answer:
Hello ma'am,
Sorry for the delay in my response.
At your age previously it was quite difficult to get pregnant but now a days with assisted techniques you may get pregnant ( though the chances are low but still be there),your FSH is fine.
But at your age prenatal check up is more important because chances of blood pressure and blood sugar are more.
You may conceive and continue your pregnancy under strict supervision.
Hope found useful.
Good luck.
