FSH and LH Results

[Elle_9]

Hi all,

I recently posted feeling rather deflated that my AMH result was low. I received such a lovely response from many kind people.

I’ve now received my LH and FSH results so just wanted some help understanding the bigger picture.

FSH has come back as 6.72 and LH as 4.52. They were taken on cycle day 7 (I know not ideal).

I was told that LH is low. I’ve no idea what FSH means.

I’m 39, my periods are like clockwork,

I usually have extremely painful ovulation pain which used to be every month but actually for the last year or so, some months it’s now just a grumble of pain rather than the searing explosion of pain. Ouch.

If anyone can help me with the results I will be so grateful. Oh, I’m also hypothyroid and on Levothyroxine.

Thanks in advance.

FSH is your follicle stimulating hormone. Unfortunately I don’t know what the levels should be but hopefully someone else can advise you here xx

Hi, as Tugsgirl says FSH is follicle stimulating hormone!! My understanding is that it should be measured ideally on day 3 of your cycle and if not then b’ween day 2 - 4. I think anything under 10 is okay. x
