Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH): Meaning, function, and normal values
What can a single hormone value reveal about fertility, the menstrual cycle, or menopause? Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) plays a key role in these processes...
Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) plays an important role in ovulation and the menstrual cycle. Too high or too low FSH levels can cause fertility problems and indicate problems with the ovaries or the glands that produce hormones in the body. This test measures the level of FSH in your blood. Use this home test to learn more about your reproductive health or check for hormonal imbalances that may be causing unwanted symptoms.
Test mode:
Finger Prick test
When to test: It is important to collect the blood sample on Day 3 of your menstrual cycle to ensure accurate results. The third day of your menstrual cycle refers to the third day of blood flow during your period. This test should not be used by women on hormonal birth control.
