FSH

FrannyS

Got my FSH results back and its horrible - 18!   Last year at this time it was 10.  The nurse gave me the results and said sometimes it comes back with a flukey high number.  I am really hoping that is the case.

I also have to get more testing tomorrow on my thyroid - my results were very elevated. Don't know how that fits into my IF.

I am so bummed.

Ick. Sorry for the high number. But from what I understand, this is one that can vary wildly for various reasons. Would definitely be worth testing again. GL!

Your thyroid could be causing issues for sure. Hopefully once that is controlled the fsh will fall into line. highfsh.org has a great board where many women have high fsh & thyroid issues you may get info there.

Here's to hoping it was just a fluke.  Good luck!

Mine came back at 17, and I'm hoping its a fluke too!  There are lots of success stories out there with numbers higher than ours!  Good luck!

Franny and Gymdog,

I'm right here with you. I just got my results today - 17. 

I was going to do a post of my own when I saw yours.

I'm trying not to get too discouraged. DH and I have a whole battery of tests in front of us still. But as you said, Franny, I am bummed!

highfsh.com has a list of REs that are 'high-FSH friendly'  I was so excited because mine was listed!

Best of luck ladies!

It can definitely vary for lots of reasons.  Hang in there - getting it retested will give you more info.  There is still lots of hope

PS:

I really hope your results were just a fluke. I just re-read your post, and it really seems highly probable.

Keep us posted!

Sorry your bummed ?I too have elevated FSH/TSH levels. I hope it is a fluke and your next test comes back with lower results.

Sorry about the FSH results. Hopefully, it is related to your throid and once you get that in control the FSH number will go down.  Good luck!
