Elevated FSH - panicking

[Bex490]

32 and on ttc#1 cycle 6, my periods are irregular (range from 28-31 days with the odd 35-40 day cycle).

had routine gp bloods due to irregular periods, actually had them done on cd6 not cd 2/3, returned as normal but I’ve since checked the results and my FSH was 9.4, LH 5.4. I’ve researched and this seems really high for FSH so now panicking about ovarian reserve 😢 I’m going to get private full bloods done next cycle but has anyone had similar results and it been ok? Am I likely to need IVF and should I just go for it now.

Also wondering if bloods were done too late in cycle, I was v stressed that month due to a work situation so wondering if that could have had an effect.

Was feeling positive this cycle and that has just floored me… can’t believe GP reported as normal considering my age. Don’t know whether to bite the bullet for private fertility treatment now.

Hiya FSH can change month to month. I am older than you and did do IVF.

But just solely on the FSH concern, my first FSH test result was 48.3...yikes! NHS told.me i was peri menopausal.

Got tested privately a month later it was 21. Started my IVF and the lowest it was naturally was 14.

Just wanted to give you the range from my experience 😊 x

Should have said. I was 38 for first result and my lowest natural result was when I was 40 x
