FSH levels - 12.2

Help!
I have finally started the process to investigate why I am not falling pregnant. Got my day 3 blood tests back today and they say it was 12.2. They are testing again but peri-menopause was mentioned and now I am scared I have missed my chance completely.

Last time I had this test it was 9, that was about a year ago.

I am 39 and have never had any children. I have just missed the cut off point for free IVF but reading around these boards I am getting the impression that IVF is often not given to people with a high FSH level?

Is this it? Should I juat try to start to accept that getting pregnant will never happen for me?

Hmm. I am not sure then. Do you have a follow up appointment to discuss options? The website also suggests the levels can fluctuate quite a bit, so it could be 12 one week and 7 the next. When are they retesting? Do you have a regular cycle etc?

hiya - thanks. I have seen this table. It's just that everything else I have read on here seems to suggest that anything over 10 is quite bad.

Hi
Sorry I don't know too much about this but maybe this linke would be helpful? The table at the bottom seems to show that 12 is not too bad at all?
