Very interesting thread! Thanks for starting it... I started acupuncture a little over a month ago and I do think it is helping with my relaxation/stress levels. My FSH has also gone down - I started with a new RE and she wanted to retest everything, I know she was thinking that it had gone up since it was done in August and I was such a poor responder to IVF on max dosage of drugs. Well, it turns out my FSH went DOWN - 10.2 to 9.8 - not much but still it didn't go up! And that was after only 2 weeks of acupuncture.
My acupuncturist studied w/Randine Lewis (Infertility Cure) so she seems to be very familiar with IF issues. She recommends the obvious like no caffeine or alcohol, but also no wheat or dairy or sweets. Well I am finding wheat is in everything, so that makes things interesting. I am also a milkoholic so that is the most difficult, but I am weening myself!
