FSH level 10

Tags: fsh level
I am 33 this month, and I had my first FSH test 2 weeks ago.. on day 3 my fsh was level 10.
My periods are  pretty reg. - alays 29-31 day and always o between 14-17
I had one M/C march 2007, and have already tried 2 IUI's before my FSH test.  My DH washed sperm levels for IUI was 2m, then 9m then 11m with Motilitys in the 84-87% range.

On my last cycle.... I O'd on 14, which is usually 16 / 17 ... and my pd was 2 days late.
I was told to try Clomid after my next period.  I feel like he didn't give me any information on what my FSH level means to me ?
So if you could let me know how does my FSH level effect me and my chances of having a baby ? and what are your reccommendations.

Hi toptaz!

A 10 is a little high, but not too bad. In general, FSH can give you an indication of your ovarian reserve. From what I've read, anything under 6 is excellent, 6-9 is good, 9-10 is fair, 11-13 is diminished and 13+ is hard to stimulate.

Good luck to you! I hope you get your BFP soon!

Normal levels of FSH on cd3 are 10 or less.  The level of FSH increases the older we get. It is also the number used to determine when we are entering menopause.

10 is a little high for your age. But, if you did Clomid that cycle, it can increase the #. Also, FSH varies from month to month. You are on the high side of normal. I wouldn't stress about it. There are many women that have had much higher #'s conceive. They use the # to determine ovarian reserve. The higher the #, the less time you have.
