FSH doesn't change???

You know what the weird thing is - I asked my doctor about taking bee pollen, royal jelly, DHEA etc to lower my FSH and he told me that FSH does not fluctuate. He said it's impossible. So I said, then what are all these women online talking about? And he told me to stop reading online.

???

I also asked him whether dairy is good or bad while TTC. As I have read in "The Fertility Diet" that whole milk and other whole dairy products (even ice cream) are good, but I've heard many other places (online, other books, from my acupuncturist) that dairy should absolutely be AVOIDED at all costs. ??? All this conflicting information is driving me crazy.

FYI - on the whole dairy question, my RE said just to eat healthy and not get carried away with going on a special diet. He told me that food will not create a healthy egg, and thus, a pregnancy. He almost laughed, saying, how do you think people conceived in the past 50 years? They did not eat organic and take bee pollen, that's for sure...
