[quote=Anonymous]I just posted this on another thread:

I had a highest FSH of 18.5 (averaging more like 12 on most months) at the age of 40 when ttc. I was doing IUI with injectibles (rather large doses too) and only producing one mature follicle each cycle. My RE was beginning to talk about donor eggs and let me know in no uncertain terms that I was not a candidate for IVF. An additional challenge in our case was that we were using frozen donor sperm (lesbian moms), which is far less successful than fresh sperm. I started doing acupuncture and taking traditional chinese medicine (individualized herbal blends that are brewed specifically for you based on the assessment of the acupuncturist) to augment our efforts. Acupuncture usually has a lag effect due to its nature of working to shift your own body toward health rather than just ramp something up artificially. The first month of doing acupuncture and TCM, my FSH reduced to 9 - still one mature follicle but more antral follicles than previously. On my second cycle during the period of doing acupuncture and TCM (in addition to the IUI and injectibles) my FSH was 6, and I produced four mature follicles and ended up pregnant.

We now have a healthy, amazing 3 year old dc.

My practitioner was in NYC. Here is his website, maybe they have a referral in this area:
