Is my FSH level is too high to conceive?

Can anyone help me please?

I got the results of my day 3 test today and the results are
FSH - 10.7
LH - 7.5

I can't get to see my GP until next week, so had a look at the internet which said my FSH level could be indicative of "diminishing egg reserve". The test results say the normal levels are 3.5-13 though.

Very worried now

Mine came back at 9.7 and my doctor said they preferred it to be under 8, however I have read in other places that under 10 is considered normal as well. So yours is raised, but it's not hugely high from what I have read.

Acupuncture has good results for lowering FSH levels, as does taking wheatgrass supplements, so might be worth looking into?

Well it is on the low side but people have conceived with that level and remember that it can fluctuate. I would get advice from a fertility specialist if you can aford it as your GP will not be that helpful. You may be referred but that is notoriously slow so you would be better to self refer. How old are you?
