Nope...you've got the numbers backwards, or maybe it was a different test?

With the FSH, the higher the number the less fertile you are....lower (single

digits) = more fertile. Between 10-14 - borderline infertility.

I was told on the blood work it would say hemocrite or hct which normals are

supposed to be between 35-50.. 50 and above being above normal .. not

menopausal... below 35 being menopausal..don't think age has anything to do with

it...this is my understanding .. i could be wrong... and I thnik the lower you

are the more menopausal you are. FSH is the name of the test ..

 

Does anyone know what shows the adrenals are weak?? Also I have blood test

results regarding my liver.. wondering what to look for with this too... to show

say fatty liver or problems...

It was indicated here that " 53 " is definatly menopausal - so, this being the

case - what would a " definatly NOT menopausal " number be - in other words, do

the numbers go up or down?

 

I guess that what I am trying to ask, is what would " normal " FSH numbers be for

a say, 25-year old woman VS the FSH numbers be for a say, 70-year old woman?

 

Thanks for any feedback!
