Hi, I am starting my PGD journey for a girl but have FSH of 16 and AFC 17, just wondering if anyone has had a similar situation and had a positive outcome, thanks!

Also, did they test your AMH level?

I am 36, I have been taking DHEA for 3 months and CO-Q10, my FSH has come down slightly from 18, all other results were normal, I am lucky my clinic are willing to work with me. How high was your FSH and did you take any supplements to help? Thanks!

The brand of DHEA helps a lot, here in Australia you get it specially compounded and it is pretty pure in America there are a lot of brands you can get that may or may not be that great, so look into that.
I took 75mg a day for 3 months and my FSH went down from 9 to 5.
Also I think most doctors these days look at the AMH, how is that looking?

Thanks for your response, they did not mention my AMH, I was just told all other results were normal. I just started drinking wheatgrass this week and am hoping that will help too.
They like to see an FSH of 15 or under at my clinic so I am so close but would like it to be lower so I don't waste a cycle.('03), ('07) Praying for

It is definitely high but all you can do is try. You have a great AFC though.

I just looked at our current cyclers and one OHW had a FSH of 15. She ended up with 4 normals so it can happen. Proven fertility trumps poor pretesting in most cases. They don't have stats for fertile women.

Hello, just coming on to say I had a fsh 15 and am currently a OHW bfp, it can happen! I drank lots of wheatgrass and took supps for 12 weeks, I don't know for definite if it helped but I do wonder because I ended up with 4 good quality embies, which is more typical for my age (than my high fsh was, I'm 34) I really think it all helped
Good luckLast edited by perrypop3; March 4th, 2012 at 01:46 PM.

Hi, wow that's great news many congrats to you! That really gives me hope as everything you read about high FSH is so negative, it's nice to hear a positive story. Did your FSH come down at all while you were taking supplements and wheatgrass? What supplements did you take? Thanks for posting!
