Hi Ladies,

I wanted to chime in because I was so happy with my fsh results today. I think it lowered because I changed my diet somewhat, went to acupuncture weekly and took royal jelly (recommended by someone on this forum) and wheatgrass shots.
Last two cycles I had a 9.7 and then an 8.2 (but with high estradiol so it was probably a high 9 also). This cycle it was a 6.3 with a low estriodiol of 31. Yay!

I did the royal jelly and the wheatgrass daily. I actually bought a flat of it and juiced it in my kitchen with my juicer. Also, I followed some dietary suggestions from my acupuncturist which were:
no cold foods or drinks
eat foods high in protien but avoid too much red meat
eat A LOT of organic cooked dark vegetables like spinach, kale, yams. Yams are super good for you!
She also gave me a b-complex supplement and fish oil supplements. I take these along with my multi which I love (New Chapter Organics perfect prenatal) It's annoying because it's 3 a day but it's good on your stomach and supposed to be one of the best.

Good luck to all you ladies! Hope this is our time!

-Teresa
