What Does High FSH Mean In Chinese Medicine?

Very common question. I have found that high FSH is a sign that the womens body is out of balance, and is just not nourishing the reproductive system. When women who have been diagnosed with high FSH come into our office, they feel hopeless. Their spirit has been broken.

The good news is that I have seen many women who have very high (80-100), come in, change their diet, get regular Acupuncture treatments and sometimes take herbs. Within 3-6 months often their FSH count is much lower.

I have seen many women with higher than normal FSH become pregnant, and have healthy, happy little ones.

The FSH is checked on the 3rd day of a womens cycle. In most clinics of Western Medicine the FSH should be 8 or under.

Does Acupuncture and Herbs work for everyone? I wish I could say yes, but — I truely believe that we all have a purpose in life. Some of us will be mothers to our children, and some will be mothers to the world. There are just some women, that cannot conceive — but that does not me you are less of a women, or that you don’t have a purpose. It means that you were meant for something else that is just as dear and just as special as having your own children. Once you determine what that purpose is, you will be just excited as finding out you are pregnant.

It probably doesn’t feel that way at this time, but time heals.

Infertility — Unknown Reason

Couples coming into my office have been diagnosed with infertility for unkown reasons.  You would really think as much time, money and research that we would know why a women cannot conceive.  It is such a difficult, stressful time in a couples life.  Yet, we have found that stress causes infertility.  What does one do?

Here are somethings that I find help –  Meditate, find relaxation time, have dates with your husband, find things you enjoy doing, exercise, eat healthy, cut out bad carbs., add lots of fresh fruits and veggies.

Diagnosed with PCOS?  Try Castor Oil Packets on your abdomen.  20 min. a day while in your period.  Put the castor oil on a piece of material, or old towel, put another damp hot towel on top of the castor oil.

Try Acupuncture.  It really helps lower your stress level.  Improves fsh, increases the blood flow to the uterus, and just makes you feel great.  Look for a Acupuncturist who has you keep a bbt chart.  Using a bbt chart you can tell so much about what is going on with your cycle.

Need help reading your bbt chart?  Email it to me — katiemc@ancientartsaustin.com  I will be happy to see what I think.  I am a Acupuncturist in Austin, Texas.  I see men and women everyday who have been diagnosed with infertility.
