High FSH or Luteal Phase Defect? There’s More You Can Do Than Just “Wait and See”

If you’ve been told your FSH is too high, or that your luteal phase is too short to support a healthy pregnancy, you might feel like your options are limited. Maybe you’ve been handed vague advice or encouraged to jump straight to IVF. But we believe your body deserves more than quick fixes and numbers on a chart. With the right support, it’s possible to optimize your cycle, improve hormone signaling, and shift into a state where conception becomes more possible.

This is for you if...

  • You’ve been told your FSH is “too high” or that you may have diminished ovarian reserve
  • Your cycle is short or your luteal phase (after ovulation) lasts less than 10 days
  • You’ve experienced early miscarriages or difficulty sustaining implantation
  • You want to avoid jumping straight into assisted fertility treatment, or want to improve your chances before trying
  • You’ve been told your only option is IVF, but feel like something deeper needs support
  • You want a plan that helps your body shift from “survival mode” into true reproductive health

Support That Goes Beyond the Numbers

We don’t believe you’re a lost cause just because a lab flagged your FSH, or that your luteal phase is unchangeable. Instead, we look at the full hormonal landscape: what’s happening with ovulation, progesterone, egg quality, nutrient status, adrenal health, and your body’s ability to recover from stress. Using both functional medicine and Chinese medicine, we assess patterns of imbalance and build a plan that supports your entire reproductive system. Our goal is to lengthen the luteal phase, improve hormonal resilience, support ovarian health, and help your body feel safe enough to prioritize fertility.

Through targeted nutrition, personalized supplement plans, acupuncture (for local clients), and nervous system tools, we guide you toward hormone patterns that support healthy conception— and more stability cycle to cycle.

Conventional medicine isn’t designed to find the root cause.

do any of these sound familiar?
  • Your lab results are "normal", but you struggle daily with symptoms that affect your quality of life
  • You've seen multiple doctors and are no closer to getting answers or relief
  • Your physical/mental health keeps you from living life the way you want to
  • Your doctor has told you "you'll just have to live with it"
  • You're looking for an option besides prescription medications or invasive surgery
  • You're beginning to wonder if you'll ever feel like yourself again

...you’re not alone. Most care models focus on symptoms (not systems), and they often miss the full picture and rely on
generalized protocols that don’t work for everyone.

That’s why at Connected Healing we do things differently

We bring together the best of functional medicine, Chinese medicine and holistic health to get a full-body picture of what’s happening at a foundational level so your body's naturable abilities are restored.

Functional medicine

gives us the science using labs, data, patterns, imbalances, and deeper insight into your hormones, nutrients, thyroid, gut health, and more.

Chinese medicine

brings the wisdom by addressing the energetic patterns, organ systems, cycle observations, and subtle signs your body’s been giving you all along.

Together, these two systems allow us to see the whole you. Not just your ovaries. Not just your labs. But your stress, your digestion, your sleep, your cycle, your energy, your resilience and everything in between.
