Has anyone on here been diagnosed with high fsh. I was just wondering because I dont know anyone with my diagnosis. Does anyone know of any success stories for women with high fsh. A little about my history...No birth control for 10 years actively ttc for 18 months. My RE said I have a 2% chance of getting pregnant naturally. Ive been taking herbs and doing accupunture for maybe 15 months now...No BFP. Ive just been praying and keeping the faith. This is one of the hardest things ive gone through in life. Just wondering if anyone else has a similar diagnosis? Needing some support.

I have a friend who had FSH of 24, she did IVF once and it didn't work, she also did a few IUI's that didn't work. Eventually she went to another RE who tried a different approach (had her take heparin, metformin and high blood pressure pills even though she isn't a diabetic nor does she have high blood pressure), and eat the diet for her blood type, and she got pregnant naturally at age 40. Her son will be 3 in March. Good luck to you.

Hi, there are a lot of high FSH success stories of women who did the Fertile heart Ovum program.
This program was founded by author, teacher and peace activist Julia Indichova, who was diagnosed with high FSH and went on to have a healthy baby 16years ago and has been helping women ever since. You can find out more about this mind body approach at www.fertileheart.com

here is a link to one of Julia's articles on high FSH:

You can also find it by following the links on the website.

Good luck.

Hi mikalyn. My original FSH was 50. Using eastern medicine it went down to 21, and then to 6.5. Acupuncture & herbs did wonders for me, as well as changing my diet. The hardest part for me has been reducing stress--nearly imposssible as I'm in the middle of my dissertation for my PhD. I had a chemical pregnancy, however we stopped trying until I get through with school.

I catalogued all of the information I learned on my blog at www.infertilityawakening.com if you're interested. I do very much understand what you're going through and am here if you ever need support from someone who's on the same journey.

Best to you!

Oh yessss. My FSH was 42!!!!!!!
I was fast-tracked to IVF/ Embryo Implant. My FSH, removed a lot of other testing most IF includes.

glad I'm not the only one... I haven't had mine tested in a long time.. but my last fsh was 25. I've done acupuncture and herbs. Just praying in having faith in God! All things are possible with him.

I've also made changes to my diet too.
