FSH Levels

Post by Babysoft »

Holy,

FSH - Follicle Stimulating Hormone. It controls how your eggs develop. Ideal level are between 4 - 10 (6 great and anything over 10 high) When you fsh is high you ar enot producing quality eggs, so you will most likely ovi prematurely. This is all what I have been told, before last month I didn't have a clue about fsh. They say fsh levels raise as your age, higher levels indicate premen, but these levels also change every month.

Wow Babysoft - that's awesome

I'd been told that FSH over thirty is off the chart and that menopause is coming right behind.

Did you Dr. say anything about how low your levels have come?

Hello everybody!!!

Holly, Hope all your test results are ok. Maybe we could cycle together this time.

Nicki, Hope u get your LH surge soon. That's what I don't like, waiting for the LH surge! When does your LH surge shows up? mine comes late, CD 16.

Babysoft, Glad to hear your FSH levels are back down and starting your cycle.

As for me, I'm waiting for AF to arrive. I'll be taking Repronex for about 5 days my RE says since I had responded well to it when I had IVF.

Take care everyone! Good luck to all!

HI GIRLS
MY TESTS WILL NOT START TILL THE 12TH DAY OF MY CYCLE THEN EVERY TWO DAYS TILL THEY SAY STOP.ITS A MUCUS TEST (NOT SURE WHAT THEY DO) MOSTLY YOU HAVE IT DONE THREE TIMES I THINK.
HAS ANYONE ELSE HAD ONE?
WHEN I GO IN FOR THAT I WILL GET BLOOD RESULTS AND DH'S RESULTS. SO I AM WAITING FOR AF NOW.
THE DOCTOR SAID I WILL START JAN OR FEB WITH IUI,S OR IVF.
HE THINKS MORE LIKELY IVF.(BUT I STILL FEEL LIKE AN IUI GIRL) :wink:

Holly, I haven't had a mucus test, so I'm unsure as to what it is. Did the Dr. explain what they'll be doing? And I say you're an IUI girl, stay here!

With me, I never have to wait to surge. When my eggies look good I take the HCG jab, and then something like 36 hours later they do the iui. I picked up my meds for next go round - the pugegon alone is over $1200. Holy cow! Thank goodness I have a drug plan.

Hope you all are enjoying your weekend. AF should be making an appearance in the next week or so for me, I can feel her coming. Interesting always that AF symptoms are the same as pg symptoms,eh?

Nicki, if you want to follow my example, wait til I do something good. Besides, I don't mind being the one to follow you.

I say if they cancel, then BD, and hopefully the sperm DH has will kick in. Pray for a miracle with his one.

I'm Back

Post by Babysoft »

Hello All!

Sorry I've been away for a few days, but my dsl at home wasn't working and I have been swamped at work.

Anyway thanks for all the positive comments...I really makes me feel good to know I have a bunch of wonderful women supporting me and helping me through this...you guys (ladies) r the best.

Holly - Good luck with the new hospital. I recently changed from my quack doctor that I had been seeing for years to a great new RE, things have been working out better for me since then..so good luck with the new facility.

Smokeroni - Have fun on your time off...you never know the next thread we read from you may be a natural conception...stay positive and enjoy yourself.

Denise - I really can't tell you much about why my fsh levels were that high, because my doctor didn't tell me. I am suspecting that it was the medication I was taking, but not really sure. I do know that from everything I've read, me having levels that high, meant early meno..which had me really scared and sad. But now that I know my levels are good, I'm really excited. Too be quite honest, I believe the fact that I wasn't drinking any soda helped with my levels. I am not usually one who drinks water, so I have been attempting to get my habits in order in preparation for the pregnancy (being optimistic).

Nicki - I'm sorry to hear that your follies weren't as large as you wanted, but I think that scan on cycle day 10 is a little early for follies to be fully mature. To be honest I think 10 is a good number, especially if you ovi around day 13 or 14! Don't be discouraged..also have you been taking clomid? I believe that helps with follies getting larger :arrow: I am taking clomid now and my doctor doesn't want to do the scan until my surge on the stick. And if you remember I am a compulsive stick user, so I'll be testing starting Wednesday. If you next scan is Monday, I think that is plently of time for follies to grow grow grow. What is the largest follies size you've ever had. I remember after my first clomid cycle I had follies at 26 (about 2), but still no preggers :(...quack doctor I believe. Anyway keep me posted and oooze with PMA :lol:
