You are correct. Obese post-menopausal women have higher estrogen levels than normal weight women. Visit this site for information: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2888623/#:~:text=Obese%20premenopausal%20women%20had%20significantly,compared%20to%20non%2Dobese%20women.

Why would a mid-40s woman have high fsh levels AND have regular periods and very high estrogen levels? This makes no sense to me based on what I've read.

Why would my fsh levels be sky-high but I still get fairly reg periods? My estrogen is normal-to-high, too, and testosterone normal. If fsh is so high, why am I still menstruating?
