I've heard there are lots of things we can do to help decrease FSH. I do acupuncture with herbs, diet changes (no caffeine, alcohol, dairy, wheat, sugar) and supplements like Co-Q10, wheatgrass shots, royal jelly, DHEA, l-arginine, exercise and decreasing stress. I haven't had my FSH retested since October when it was at it's highest at 28. My RE doesn't really care so much about the FSH and looks more at antral follicles and how I respond to stims (which I do). She says it will fluctuate a lot. I haven't had success yet from two medicated IUI's but my RE is hopeful that I will get pregnant with IUI's.

Keep positive and try not to let all the negative things you hear about high FSH get you too down. I just read the book "Inconceivable" that I highly recommend and I keep the faith that it WILL happen.
Just because your FSH is elevated does not mean you will not get pregnant.
