First Response Fertility Test

Okay, so I'm not currently trying to conceive because I already have three children under 3 years old (yep, that's right), but I got a free fertility test in a box of preg tests (First Response) that I purchased some time ago, and just for kicks, took the fert test the other day. I was SHOCKED with the results! The test indicates that my FSH levels are elevated. I'm 29 years old, so shouldn't be pre-menopausal. But I'm just having a hard time believing the results, since it seemed that all hubby and I had to do was hold hands to get preggo! Has anyone else used this test?

    I haven't used them, and I'm no expert, but were you getting ready to ovulate by chance?  FSH stands for follicle stimulating hormone, which as I understand it, is a hormone that stimulates the release of the egg.  Maybe it was elevated because of where you are in your cycle?

    The test directions said to take it on the third day of your period. I took it on the fourth... maybe that affected the accuracy of the reading, not sure.
