FSH - Day 3

UncleBenUncleBen

I could use some TTTC expertise.... 

I just received my CD3 FSH results and it was 7.2.  My LH was 3.9.  I know the ratio is supposed to be 1:1, and that when LH is higher, its a sign of PCOS.  What does it mean when FSH is higher than the LH?  I've been TTC for 1 year, 8 months.  How bad is this?  My doc wasn't there today when the nurse gave me the results....

    I'd love to know the answer to this too.  My FSH is much higher than my LH.  I googled it but everything comes back about LH being higher being bad, 1:1 ratio, etc.

    you want your CD3 FSH to be low  (definitely below 10) - this indicates good ovarian reserve (i.e. you will generally respond well to drugs and you have lots of eggs)...

    cd 3 LH should be about the same as CD3 FSH or less....if CD3 LH is much higher, that indicates PCOS (but not always - apparently I have PCOS but my CD3 FSH is about 4 and my CD3 LH is about 3)....
