What is a normal FSH level for a 33 year old?

Generally, normal FSH levels by age are considered to be the following (with measurements based on day 3 of a normal cycle): Age 33 or under: less than 7.0 mlU/mL (milli-international units per milliliter) Age 33-37: less than 7.9 mIU/mL. Age 38-40: less than 8.4 mIU/mL.

What FSH level indicates perimenopause?

FSH is sometimes used as a measure of whether a woman is peri or postmenopausal. An FSH level of > 30 IU/L is consistent with the perimenopause, although FSH levels of 70-90 IU/L are not uncommon for postmenopausal women.

What FSH level indicates ovulation?

Prior to ovulation, FSH levels will peak, signaling the ovary to release an egg. Once ovulation has occurred, the levels will return to or dip slightly below the baseline. Normal baseline FSH levels are between 4.7 and 21.5 mIU/ml in women who are menstruating.

What FSH number indicates menopause?

Sometimes, elevated follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) levels are measured to confirm menopause. When a woman’s FSH blood level is consistently elevated to 30 mIU/mL or higher, and she has not had a menstrual period for a year, it is generally accepted that she has reached menopause.

How do I read my FSH results?

To understand your FSH test result, remember that generally, a lower number is better—meaning the lower the FSH, the greater the ovarian reserve….What those results really mean

  1. Below 10 mIU/ML is considered normal.
  2. 10-15 mIU/ML is a “gray area,” says Dr.
  3. Above 15 mIU/ML is associated with a diminished ovarian reserve.

Does FSH measure egg quality?

It signals the ovaries that it is time to make an egg each month. As the eggs decrease in quality, they are more resistant to FSH and it takes more and more FSH to keep the cycle progressing. Therefore, the higher the FSH value, the lower the quality of the eggs.
