For diagnostic purposes, we will conduct a Day 2 or 3 FSH test.
This simple blood test will measure your levels of FSH (follicle stimulating hormone – a hormone released from the pituitary gland in the brain that stimulates an egg follicle to grow each month as part of the menstrual cycle). Elevated blood levels of FSH indicate ovarian maturing, as greater amounts of the hormone are required for the ovary to recruit and stimulate an egg follicle.
