Question 1

during perimenopause can your fsh level fluctuate in and out of menopause ranges? mine was 53.2 but im still having periods every few months.

Accepted Answer

Period flow can : happen from ovulation, or excessive buildup of  uterine lining. If the buildup is occurring this can result in some abnormal cells developing over time. See your doctor to consider progesterone treatment every 3 months or so, to thin the lining down to a safer level.   Ultrasound can measure the uterine lining for excess thickness.

Question 2

for accurate testosterone labs it's imp to have blood drawn prior to 10am bc levels fluctuate so much later in day.does this rule apply to lh/fsh as well? lh/fsh levels take after 11am not reliable?

Accepted Answer

Complicated answer: In men under age 40 years testosterone should be checked prior to 10 am. Lh and fsh levels are secreted in short pulses throughout the day from the pituitary gland. The accuracy of the tests is really dependent on the time the hormones are secreted. These levels are used to determine if one has a primary testicular disorder.

Question 3

what are normal lh and fsh levels?

Accepted Answer

It depends: Totally on where they are drawn relative to your menstrual cycle, age, and also the functional capacity of your ovaries in terms of estrogen secretion and egg production. Lh normal is 1-20 with a surge before ovulation. Fsh is lowest 3-5 days after last menses.

Question 4

fsh levels 14.1 is normal?yahooanswer

Accepted Answer

No: In most centers an fsh greater than 10 is abnormal and indicates what is called diminished ovarian reserve. You should discuss the implications of this with your reproductive endocrinologist.

Question 5

my fsh levels is 9.8 and lh is 6.3. is this bad?

Accepted Answer

Not bad: They are within normal range, a bit non-specific though. To interpret FSH we need to know the day of your cycle it was checked: CD3 is the optimal day, in this case your level is a little higher than expected for a 24 year old. If checked at any other time, probably not important. Good wishes.

Question 6

explain a 3.8 fsh level ?

Accepted Answer

Need context : FSh labs results need to be interpreted knowing information about the patient otherwise it's hard to interpret. According to your profile if you are a 47 year old female then a low FSH means that your not in menopause yet

Question 7

what can cause low fsh level in males?

Accepted Answer

Low FSH: Surely your doctor examined you and obtained lab data which included a low FSH.
Did he/she not tell you what a low FSH meant and what needed to be done about it.
If this discussion did not happen please call the doctor and ask for more advice.

Question 8

what is a normal lh and fsh level in males?

Accepted Answer

LH and FSH: normal range for both approximately 1 to 8 mIU/mL in most laboratories. You could ask the lab to tell you the units of measurements that are used by them. A lot of times, the normal ranges are mentioned on test results.

Question 9

can your fsh levels be high and estrogen high?

Accepted Answer

Fsh relates to: Egg development, not estrogen level, which is regulated by another pituitary hormone known as lh.

Question 10

is it normal for a male to have a 0.7 fsh level?

Accepted Answer

It is technically: Below the lower limit of the "normal" range, but is of no clinical significance whatsoever. Why did you have the lab drawn in the first place? A very high level would have needed investigation, say for infertility - but you value is entirely normal.
