buliej - Hahahaha. I know exactly what you mean about AF showing up, mine's same...as soon as I contact clinic all worried, I find myself calling them back same day saying it arrived...it always reminds me about how much our minds are tied to the physical aspects of us. I'm trying to find out if DHEA resets itself each time you stop/start - or do the benefits continue on. If I find any info I will post.

ferrals - Your puregon should be alright, but maybe use a new one b/c then if the cycle has a hiccup - you won't needlessly worry and blame yourself about having used an old puregon. NOT saying that your cycle will be anything but perfect!!! But you know what I mean. I'm glad to hear acu is helping. (I go weekly). I've actually never read about wheatgrass increasing FSH levels - only the opposite. Do you recall where you read that? I'd be interested. My highest reading was while I was on Liquid Vitex & taking other herbs - though I don't think that was the reason. Your levels are ok and age is on your side - so stay positive and hang in there.

Daisie - Welcome, but I am sorry you find yourself here! High FSH is a horrible finding to deal with. Definitely not worth hitting the panic button...there's many high FSH success stories and I hope each one of us become more soon. I've had same result as you for 1st cycle - also just 2 eggs/1 fert. So, you're in good company I've never heard or read of excess weight affecting FSH levels? I can't help on the gluten free info sorry. FSH can bounce around alot as yours has from 2 - 19 (mine from 5.4 - 44)...there's very mixed opinion about waiting for a low level to start IVF and whether it indeed makes any difference. FSH is about how you'll respond to IVF drugs - not about if you can get pregnant or not - waiting for a low FSH is a personal choice (although most clinics take that choice away by having a cut off - which I've learnt you can challenge if you want).

Anyos - Hugs to you!

Dutchie - How are you?

AFM, my cycle so far:
Stim Day 5 (Last Thu): 2 follies in each ovary, 10-12mm. All levels good.
Stim Day 9 (Monday): Scan showed, the two follies from Right ovary 'fizzled out' and 3 follies x 16mm ea in left ovary.
Est levels were good, but Pg and LH were on the rise (7 and 20 respectively) - very weird b/c Orgalutran is supposed to prevent this happening?
Stim Day 10 (Today) - another set of bloods today, show LH back down to 5 (from 20 yesterday)??? but Est level flat at 2400. I'm back in for bloods and scan tomorrow morning when the call will be made to continue or cancel this cycle. I'm about to Dr Google it - but flat/declining est levels don't sound promising to me.

EPU was pencilled for Friday - but now it's all up in the air. Fun and games ...I'm just rolling with it this cycle - no expectations at all. I feel suprisingly ok about this bump in the road - I suppose I'm realising that there's not much I can do about it so no use crying over out of whack hormones. I'll continue to instead.
