Q: high FSH level

asked by: strawberry8087 on April 23rd, 2008

I wanted to be an egg donor, but I found out my FSH level was too high. I believe between 15-20. I also have a low follicle count at 7. I am only 21 years old. My only goal in life was to have children. I feel like this might be impossible now. What does this mean at my age?? Please help me out!!

I was diagnosed with high FSH when I was in my late 20's. From my understanding, it does not mean that you cannot get pregnant, it is more of an indicator of how you will respond to follicle stimluating drugs. The better you respond, the higher your chances are of conceiving.

If you are concerned, I would visit a fertility dr and undergo additional tests. They will be able to tell you more about your options.
