can someone help me understand fsh issues please...
i used to understand but my brain apparently doesnt work anymore lol
if you have elevated fsh..... ie... mine goes up to 26 at some readings....
what does this mean exactly?
the eggs you do have suck?
or the eggs you have are okay,,, just not alot of them?
you dont have alot of eggs AND they suck too?
so confused exactly what it means..
i am doing my first ivf cycle....
and just started thinking....if they do get alot of eggies....will they be umm inferior eggs...ie more chance of defects?
very confused..ty btw been googling but still confused sorry! ty xoxox jenn

Re: can someone help me understand fsh issues please...
Based on all that I've read and from what Dr B told me the quantity and quality goes down as the FSH goes up. That doesn't mean that you don't have any good eggs left though... but you have good ones and bad ones. Based on what I've been told if the egg is bad it won't get fertililized. So applying that to IVF, it probably means that if the egg gets fertilized it will be a good egg, if it doesn't it's not. As far as genetic defects are concerned I don't think that FSH has anything to do with it but advannced age will increase the risk. There's a whole bunch of things that you can do to lower FSH and increase the quality of your eggs... I don't know if these things help but I'm trying them out anyway.... they definitely won't make my eggs any worse...

Not always the case. I always can get eggs to fertilize but the embryo quality is not good and results in BFN's or no transfer. And it is an egg issue, sperm is fine. So bad eggs get fertilized too.
To the OP, you should FM DRMom, She had FSH issues but had a successful twin pregnancy, via IVF. I think FSH levels will point to a problem but you may not know if it's quality, quantity or both until you start treatments and get a look-see. GL!
