confused as to why my fsh is low.

[mummytosix]

I’m almost 50 and I’m pretty sure that I’m going through menopause. Hot flushes, weight gain, changing body shape, excess facial hair growth. My periods are suppressed due to taking norethisterone so I can’t go by that. My most recent blood tests I had done put my fsh at 1.6 but everything I’ve read online says it should be far higher. Reading the charts apparently your fsh levels are only that low before you start puberty. I’m also hypothyroid so would that have anything to do with such a low fsh?

Thanks 😊

thanks but I’ve checked that link and it’s all about tsh not fsh.

I’m surprised no one mentioned low FSH and menopause..there is a link with a diagnosis of Hypothyroid

🙂 Search Facebook for ‘Hypothyroid Support Group’ …it’s worth asking this question there

could be due to norethistrone
