High Fsh and Ttc

I have had a few friends who had high fsh levels and went on to have successful pregnancies. I don't know exactly what was done to bring down the levels, since every doctor is different, but they conceived with their own eggs. Good luck and stay positive!

I didn't have high FSH, but I had high AMH (not sure if you've had that tested - it is another, newer method of ovarian reserve.) I personally did herbs, acupuncture, and lots of IVF. But if I were to do it again today, I would start taking DHEA now. A friend who has a similar diagnosis just did an IVF cycle after 4 months of DHEA (it takes 3 months to really start having an effect), and had an incredible response.

I also found the forums at IVFconnections.com to be incredibly helpful.

Good luck to you!

Hi S.,
I had high fsh and got pregnant at 45. If you look through my older posts you will see what I think worked for me. I did fertility treatments with IUI for about 7 cycles with no luck. Fertility doctors only gave me a 1% chance to get pregnant , but I did eventually get pregnant naturally while doing herbs and acupuncture. I don't know if I was just lucky or not, but I tend to believe that it was the natural things that I was doing during that time.
Read through my older posts and let me know if you would like me to share any other info.
Best wishes,
B.

Hi. I had high FSH, at age 33, but I had other issues as well. That doctor's methodology was highly suspect, and she wouldn't run a second test, and referred us to the clinic's donor egg program. I went for a second opinion. It turns out, everything was fine with my eggs, and went on to have twins in our second IVF cycle with a different clinic. I don't know how old you are, but I would look at that doctor's methodology and definitely go for a second opinion. Good luck to you.
