Thanks for the help!!

There are blood tests that are done on certain days of your cycle such as cycle day 3.  That's usually the time a FSH test is done to see what your level is.  Remember too that levels can vary month to month so have a repeat test done if it seems high - hope this helps!

Thanks for your response. My FSH on day 3 in January '09 was 9.8 then I took clomid days 5-9(for clomid challenge test) and day 10 it was 10.4 I got another FSH test done in July '09 on day 3 and it was 9.1
This doesn't make any sense at all to me considering I am only 25!!!! So that's why I was wondering if there was tests that could be done to find the cause.

Ask your doctor about doing an AMH test - antimullerian hormone test.  This should give your doctor a better idea about your ovarian reserve.  You fsh seems high for a 25 year old so I can see your concern.  What does your doctor say?

My doctor says my results are normal that if it was above 12 I would need a egg donor. I disagree that my fsh levels are normal at my age though.
