6 Σεπ 2024 · FSH levels in women fluctuate based on the stage of the menstrual cycle. They rise during the follicular phase and ovulation and drop during the luteal phase. FSH levels increase with age as the egg reserve depletes naturally. Having high FSH or low FSH can help assess your ovarian reserve.
By measuring a woman’s baseline FSH on day 3 of the cycle (we do it on day 2, 3, or 4), we get an indication as to whether she has normal “ovarian reserve”. We are looking at how hard her body needs to “step on the gas” early in the menstrual cycle to get a follicle growing.

A comprehensive understanding of FSH results helps guide fertility treatment strategies. LH (Luteinizing Hormone)
In this article, we will discuss what FSH is, why Day 3 FSH levels are important, how the test is conducted, what the results mean, and what steps you can take if your levels are not within the optimal range.
