FSH tests

Posted , 3 users are following.

I believe I am going through peri but never had it confirmed with the GP as they said the blood tests to check hormone balance are not reliable. So I bought FSH tests online and wondered when it's the best to do them. I've just finished my period. Hat time in the cycle they are likely to be more accurate?

    are you thinking of taking biodenticals and have you heard anything about biodenticals.  My doc wants to put me on birthcontrol, but I read to many stories about it

    I think you are supposed to do lutenising hormones too. And do them three months running to get an accurate picture

      Forgive me my ignorance, what are lute using hormones, and what test do you do for them? What is the best way to confirm that I am going through peri menopause?

      I meant to say lutenising, the autocorrection on the phone can be very frustrating indeed

      Fsh and LH are the tests they do to help determine menopause. I think you need a full hormone panel too but best consult a natural health practitioner. The fsh and LH should be done on day 3 of your period they say. But yeh apparently they are unreliable in peri.. so i learnt on here
