FSH question

[sherby]

I just had mine drawn today. I don't have the results yet, but what is considered a good #. Thank you in advance for all your help:D

Should be under 8, preferably under 5. However, a high estradiol level may mask a high FSH and give you a false low reading. Ovarian reserve is also not decided by FSH levels only, you usually have an ultrasound of your ovaries too to count antralfollicles. I have very high FSH (22 in May) and low ovarian reserve (between 1-3 antrafollicles per cycle) but I was able to get PG using very high doses of injectible fertility meds and am now 22 1/2 weeks PG with a little boy. :)

My #'s were 1.5 at the time of the draw and that was the 23rd. I started AF later that day so from what I've been told that is a normal # for that point in the cycle. Thank you for your responses. I guess us women have a lot to worry about:eek:
