Tabu, there are times that fertility drugs just exhaust the ovaries. From your post it looks like the constant fertility drugs just exhausted them and now they need a break.
The advice of trying naturally is a good one. Maybe the leftover fertility drugs are enough to give you that boost but not too much to tire out your ovaries again.
Best wishes.
I also hear that Vitex can help reduce FSH.

Dear tabu_1982-
Your elevated FSH levels are worrisome, and suggest that you have fewer eggs than a typical 25 year old should have, perhaps even pending premature ovarian failure. This is not caused by the zoladex. Unfortunately, this is a serious situation for someone who wants to have a baby. Are you seeing an infertility specialist - reproductive endocrinologist? If not, I would strongly recommend that you do. If egg numbers are depleted, interventions with fertility drugs often are not successful. I have, in my experience, had people get pregnant even after having high FSH levels on their own. Nevertheless, you should be evaluated. There are endocrine and genetic tests that you should consider getting done to see if there is a cause for your high FSH levels. These include karyotype (a test of your chromosomes), Fragile X testing, thyroid testing, adrenal gland testing, parathyroid testing.
I hope you can have a baby on your own, and does happen with high FSH levels. If your ovaries ultimately cannot make eggs for you to get pregnant, you would do very well with donor eggs.
It is very difficult to give you the best advice over the internet - as I mentioned above you definitely want to see an infertility subspecialist regarding this.
Good luck.
