FSH level

by adgal, Nov 27, 2008 01:22PM
Just before we moved from Regina, I had my CD3 FSH done.  Somehow the results were not forwarded to my OB here, so I just called my old OB.  The number is 8.3.  From what I can see on line, anything under 10 is considered normal...am I correct?  I hope that number means all is well.  I don't see my new OB again until the 16th.  What do you all think?

Thanks as always.

It can vary a lot, so will have to be repeated.  One month it can be different than the next.

HI Amanda,
I know for sure 8.6 is good.
I had a 10.5 last year and it was considered high end of normal, but still within Fertilty range  and then in June I had a 7.6, ( first and only try at a fertility clinic) RE really liked that number.  One month ago it was 8.1 Obgyn says its a good number ( no where near menopause ) - she doesnt know about my ttc.  I dont want the lecture about age unless I get a BFP.
As you can see it changes from month to month so yours could get even lower on any gven month - but its good for ttc now.

Your FSH can change throughout your cycle.  That number is awesome.  My numbers was very high when I conceived Gavin.  It was 16.5 and here I am also 36 weeks pregnant.  So if it get's a little high you can still get pregnant.

I will turn 41 on December 30th and I will be induced on December 29th, wow two more days.  No IVF, I conceived him with 1 round of Clomid and was put on Progrestone for 12 weeks after I found out I was pregnant.  I did have 4 prior miscarriages, but was not going to give up.  I will have my bundle in my arms in two more days, I'm praying he is healthy and delivery goes well.  I will keep you all posted.

My fsh was 7.5 and my ob said that it was great.  Anything below 10 is good.
