FSH LEVELS

Hi mtjt, I have no idea re your question sorry but just wanted to say "Hi"

How are you going, is it your pick up day tomorrow?

Higher levels of FSH indicate lower ovarian reserve, can't remember exact levels, mine where about 10 and my FS thought they were getting a bit high.

There is a new test AMH that is a better indicator though.

They basically measure the levels of follicle stimulating hormones in your body. The more you have, the harder your body is having to work to produce eggs (i.e. the fewer eggs you have left to produce). from what I understand, levels higher than 15 are a problem, although under 10 is ideal. I'm not an expert, though, my problems haven't extended to that area yet.

Hi mtjt, gosh if I knew a definite way to lower FSH I'd be doing it with mine at 17!!! Apparently it can fluctuate every month.

When I was researching it there were some ads from the states about natural supplements etc but I didn't venture into it too much. Some people have said acupuncture can help too.

However my specialist is happy for me to do another round with my current FSH as I responded well (8 embryos) last time round, so I'm not too concerned at this stage.

Sorry can't really be of help it's just what our body decides to do!!
