FSH/LH level question

At age of 42 are these good results?

FSH 2.0,
LH 1.5
estradiol 29

I have read that a low FSH as that is indicative of secondary ovarian failure???  I dont really understand that one.

Any input?

Thanks!

Hi There

It seems no one has replied to your query, basically your FSH is meant to be an indicator of poor egg quality and low egg reserve and that you are entering into the peri-menapausel stage (this really starts with an FSH of 27).  I was given an FSH reading of 27 in October at the age of 40 and have slowly reduced mine down to 20.5 as of this Monday.  Are you trying for children?
