what your fsh test results indicate
FSH levels are determined by a blood test which is usually combined with other tests to diagnose hormonal levels and depending on the results may indicate reproductive problems such as low sperm count, lack of menses, or anovulation. A low level of FSH may indicate an imbalance in the pituitary or hypothalamus.
A high FSH level may indicate an imbalance with the testes or ovaries ability to function properly. In women, the FSH test (it is a blood test) is taken on the 3rd day of the menstrual period. Doctors believe levels higher than 10-15mIU/L may indicate diminished fertility, poor egg health or low ovarian reserve.
