Boarder line FSH level- do I need an RE?

Question

I just received the results of CD3 bloodwork. My FSH was 10.7, and my OB said normal is 10 and below. She wasn't concerned and said it shouldn't prevent pregnancy, but a quick Google search (I know, I know, google is the enemy sometimes!) has me worried. Anyone have any experience or knowledge to share with a stress ball like myself?!

Answer

I have the same and have had 3 recent m/c. My RE isn't concerned about my fsh level. I am tho after googling it!! Could it be the cause of my m/c?? I'm thinking of changing RE.

Answer

I had an fsh test done by my family dr. and had the same level as you. Because I was over 35, she gave me 6 months to get pregnant and without success she sent me to an RE who gave me an AMH test. An AMH test is far more accurate as it assigns a number that ascribes to quantitative and qualitative properties of eggs. In my high educated google research (haha) AMH is a far more precise indicator than FSH.

Answer

Btw I am still waiting on OB to call me directly for Q&A on my results but the nurse who gave me the FSH number just said its another good reason to see the RE.

Answer

Hi Lisa! 
​
​Nice to know someone else in the same boat. I'll be 35 in August but  thought I still had a couple good years left. Now I'm scared we waited too long. 
​
​SA stands for semen analysis so it looks like we're "less than perfect" on both sides of the equation. Couldn't get an appointment with the RE until April 3rd so for now I'm trying everything I can to get the FSH down.

​Excited and nervous for my first acupuncture appointment on Monday.

Answer

I have the same question! I just got my FSH for day 3 come back at 10. I was already referred to a RE based on borderline SA results but I'm wondering just how rough a road we have in front of us.
