FSH of 72 :(

[Briss]

I thought I'd share this interesting article on high FSH and TCM - https://www.londonacupuncture.co.uk/images/photos/high fsh.pdf


when our FS sees high FSH they just assume we are too old. but apparently there can be other reasons for high FSH not age related. the articles explains that although acu/herbs cannot turn back ‘fertility clocks’, it can help lower FSH in cases where it's elevated not because of age but because of some pathology. it's quite promising that "With an accurate diagnosis and the appropriate treatment, a reduction in FSH levels should be seen within three menstrual cycles". Unfortunately even if FSH is lowered it's still not a guarantee of improved egg quality

I am kind of proof of that. My AF came back after two and a half months Acu and herbs. My GP wrote me off as postmenopausal and told me my levels would only vary between 72 and 77. As you need to have a level under 40 to have an AF (I have now had three) I have disproved that. For egg quality i am taking coq10 as the Acu and herbs is purely to get my hormone levels to the point where i could conceive. I also agree that if a woman in her late fifties attempted this after menopause it would not be likely to work as she would have naturally gone through menopause as part of the ageing process. Good article Briss!
