Diet for Low AMH & High FSH

7 replies

EmilyPeach · 05/03/2019 08:45

I've recently found out I've got a low AMH of 1.2 and high FSH. I want to try and tackle this head on through diet and wellbeing before I embark on the IVF journey. Do you know where I can find good source of information about diet that can help balance these hormones? Hope you can help with suggestions Thanks

You could try reading "it starts with an egg" but it's only really the last few pages which are useful - it recommends 300mg COq10, DHEA if you can get it - it's not really used in the UK - and a few other vitamins. Other people I've heard drink a glass or two of full fat milk per day and then a high protein low fat diet. No caffeine, no alcohol no smoking x

@EmilyPeach I've also started taking Proceive Max (available at Boots and Holland Barratt) for women over 35 and there are loads of vitamins etc in that - biit it's really expensive! - my AMH was below average and it did show in the eggs I had collected in January So hopefully when I come to do another egg collection things will have improved x

Thank you everyone.... really appreciate the advise. Starting on the road of not knowing what the future holds is very scary!

DO NOT take DHEA without clearing it with a doctor first. It can really mess with your hormones and in some circumstances can do more harm than good.
