FSH certainly does fluctuate. Maybe what your RE was saying was that there's nothing that you can do for diminished ovarian reserve, but FSH is just one test for that. Doctors don't like the internet I know, it makes things much harder for them, since they need to rely on formal studies for recommendations. Formal medical education is always lagging behind 'anecdotal evidence' but you need to be very careful with what you believe too. With IF especially, many of us find out that we have to be our own experts!

As for fertility diets, they are wide-ranging and definitely strongly disagree with each other. That's the internet for you, confusing. The only thing you can do is try to see what works for you. Good luck!
