Get Pregnant Tip #2 (II): Lower High FSH to conceive with your own eggs

Welcome visitor from to Getpregnantblog.com .

~ Believe and act as if it were impossible to fail. ~

So, you received the dreaded news that your FSH is high and your doctor has basically told you that your only hope is to give up your dream of having a baby conceived with your eggs and get a donor egg.

Well now that you know what FSH is all about, lets talk about what you can do to bring down those high numbers. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) treats the entire body and attempts to harmonise the whole system. TCM acknowledges that the high FSH are a symptom of an underlying imbalance, and will treat it with herbs, acupuncture and lifestyle and dietary changes.

For the herbs and acupuncture segment of the treatment you must visit a reputable and experienced TCM practitioner. They will diagnosis and treat the underlying problem.

With respect to diet, the two most important changes you can make involve removing harmful categories of foods from your diet. Firstly, get rid of the junk food and the processed food. Your body is your baby’s first home. And just as you will prepare that beautiful nursery, with the prettiest bedding, the softest teddies, the safest crib and paint that does not contain any toxins to harm your precious baby, you must also prepare your body in the same way.

You must cleanse your body of all the toxins to allow conception to take place and to allow your little baby to thrive. It is these toxins that contribute to elevating your FSH. So give up the junk food (all that greasy fast food) and the processed food (with all those chemicals). Such foods interfere with the healthy functioning of your hormonal systems.

The next foods you must remove from your diet are sugar, dairy and wheat. WHAT! I can hear you saying it. But imagine for a second that you are already pregnant with that precious baby you long for, and the doctor tells you that these foods are poisoning the baby and will result in its death. Would you be able to give them up then?

Well, these foods are ‘poisoning’ your baby’s first home and making it so inhospitable that you cannot even conceive. So no sugar, or sugar substitutes, including honey and maple syrup. No fruit juices either as the sugar content is too high. You can eat the whole fruit though.

Processed refined flour and pasta becomes glucose and then functions just as a sugar would in the body.

No dairy – cheese, milk, yoghurt, ice cream and so on – TCM notes that these create ‘damp’ in the body.

Tomorrow we will continue talking about dietary changes you can make to help lower your FSH.
