High FSH-Anyone got pregnant?

[Lilyb]

Hi everyone,

I was wondering if anyone here has got pregnant with FSH levels as high as 18? I just got my results back and am very disappointed! My fear is that my doctor may refuse to do IVF with this result(I know some doctors would like to see a <15 FSH for performing IVF).

Thank you
Lily

There is hope, some women use wheatgrass to lower it or DHEA, also fsh fluctuates month to month.   Mine was 12.4 but after surgery for endo, polyp, thick lining, and ovarian cyst, it went down to 5.5.  I am now 33w1d pg.  Good luck to u.

I have been doing some research since I found out my FSH was 15. There have been many cases of women with higher FSH getting pregnant. The book "Inconceivable" is very good. I think the lady in that had a FSH of 42 or something! A lady on Medhelp had a FSH of I think 13 or 14 and is now about 24 weeks pregnant. There is hope. I think you still may be able to get someone to do IVF but you may have to look around. My doctor put me on Clomid and I started doing yoga and acupunture as well as taking wheat grass. I hope these will help me. There is alot of info online you should check into. Good luck to you.
