fsh levels?

i was wondering what is considered "good"...if that term is even applicable here.
when i asked my clinic for mine, they told me it was "fine" - what does THAT mean?

it is at 7.5.....what does that mean for me?

tia!

FSH is often used as a gauge of ovarian reserve. In general, under 6 is excellent, 6-9 is good, 9-10 fair, 10-13 diminished reserve, 13+ very hard to stimulate.

You're lucky - that's a good level!

Re: fsh levels?

roughly, what rate does the level rise - is there sort of a rough estimate?

there's no estimate but for me mine is higher so I have diminished ovarian reserve.

it's supposed to be an indicator of menopause
***************************************
FSH Blood Level Measurement
This is the key test to determine whether or not you are in menopause. A sample of your blood is taken to measure the levels of FSH -- follicle stimulating hormone -- in your blood. Because your FSH levels rise when your ovaries stop producing enough estrogen, high FSH levels can signal that your body is entering menopause.

Normal FSH day 3 value is 3-20 mlU/ml
FSH levels above 10 to 12 mlu/ml indicate that your ovaries are starting to fail. In other words, this means that you are in perimenopause -- the beginning stages of menopause when you notice physical symptoms, but before you have stopped having a period for a year, or have "diminished ovarian reserve"
Higher FSH levels -- levels about 30 to 40 or above -- are usually taken to signal menopause or ovarian failure. You may even be getting periods with your FSH levels this high, but it still is a sign that your body isn't producing enough estrogen to maintain regular ovarian function.

Basically, your FSH should stay constant for quite awhile, unless of course, you are working on lowering it, through acupuncture/herbs, in that case.....hopefully it changes quicker :)
