Hi I've recently had a positive Menopausal Urine Test (I know they're not 100% accurate) so I went to docs as I have alllll the symptoms.
Blood test done and I've just logged in to try make sense of the results and Confused

Can anyone medical please help me out? Usually I'm quite good at being able to tell the basic underlying point of whether my 'amounts' are within normal range but this has got me bamboozled.

Please help! Thanks

Sorry I have no idea but I'm keen to understand the results as going for a blood test today.

How old are you?
Blood tests are only done on women under 45, according to NICE guidance for GPs.

When was the test done?
They are done on days 2-5 of your cycle if they are going to be accurate but even then they often aren't.

Your FSH is normal = not menopausal. A figure over 30 indicates menopause.
Your estrogen is normal.

If you have symptoms, they now treat on those, not blood tests.

If you're 45 or over you don't t need any tests and any dr trying to fob you off with such nonsense is woefully lacking any understanding about menopause!!

& @otherwayup I'm 38 (39 in august). I have every symptom there is and the urine test wasn't just positive it was like BAM! 💥 Instant dark line. Reminded me of my most unexpected positive pregnancy test Confused
