i've done some googling, but wondering about personal experiences:
I need to get my FSH down from 16 to 15 and then i will qualify for public funding (just IUI as i'm too old to go on IVF waiting list). I just found out today about now having enough points, this being due to discovering a blocked tube. who would have thought a blocked tube would be a positive!
Anyway, been told to test FSH on day 2 (is this likely to be better than the day 3 that it was tested the first time?
The other thing is, i only have about 4 days to do everything i can to make it as low as i can. So anything anything anything i can do??? i will drink lots of water, no tea, coffee or soda. Avoid artificial sweeteners. um eat healthily. Also am seeing if i can get an accupuncture appt in time, but may not be possible. i have some chinese herbs left from when i did accupuncture months ago (and got my only bfp in 3 years ttc but it ended at 5 weeks) so i guess it would be safe to take these? Read also i could take EP once AF starts (up to ovulation) so seeing i have some, i can only try.
um any other ideas, and is it likely to help in 4 days???? or am i clutching at straws?
TIA

obviously no experts on this one! I'll try another urgent question which there doesn't seem anyone i can phone to ask today on this...
my day 2 for my fsh test is due tomorrow (sunday) and i really want to get it done on the suggested day for the most accurate (and therefore hopefully the most favourable) results. I have heard that pathlab in angelsea st is open for an hour on sunday morning for fertility patients. Can i use this service for doing my day 2 FSH test or is it only for daily bloods? And what time is it open, is it 8am? ... very very nervous about this test so having a super healthy eating day!
(and yes tried ringing pathlab but no one answers - it's just a message service with their general opening hours, and no one answers at FA today either)

apparently its 8.30 till 9.30. got there slightly early, but waited, and got my test done... may as well ignore this thread now, as nothing can be done to help lower my results - it's just an anxious wait...
