fluctuating fsh

Hi,
Two months back my fsh was 11.9 and when I repeat the test after two months it is 8.7.
I was very happy but when I went to my doc, she was saying one high reading is sufficient to tell that ovarian reserve is poor. now she is forcing us to go for IUI and she is also saying that success rate is only 15 to 16 %.
what should we do now? please help me . I am very depressed.

Hi Doctor,
I am 30 year old, and ttc from past 18 months. After trying for 6 months, when i did not get any success, i went to a gyn. she suggested to me that u r young and it is only matter of time , so try naturally. she has also done two cycles of follicular study, everthing was fine, I was ovulating on day 14th of my cycle. then after 6 months consultation I changed my doc. the new doc send me for blood test and tubetest . My tubes are perfect but in the blood test report my fsh was 11.9.  then she said that u r going towards menopause & your ovarian reserve is poor, so there r very less chances of natural pregnancy.  

I checked my FSH after two months it was 8.7 than in next cycle it was 9.4
I was very happy but when I went to my doc, she said that one high reading is sufficient to tell that ovarian reserve is poor. now she is forcing us to go for IUI and she is also saying that success rate is only 15 to 16 %.
what should we do now? please help me . I am very depressed.

what should I do now, why at the age of 30 I am going towards menopause and should I go towards IUI or IVF? what r the chances for me of success in IUI or IVF? will I ever be able to be a mother? I am very depressed, Is it still possible to conceive naturally for me?
please help me

High FSH means that your egg reserve is diminishing.
However, since you are only 30 the quality of your eggs should be fine and quality is more important than quantity, so go ahead and try IUI or whatever else your doctors recommend.
Dont let the time go by without giving it a try... it may take you a bit longer and require a few tries but it is going to be worth it in the end.

11 is higher than ideal but not a terrible number.
