Have any of you taken this test? My results are high FSH level and I called my FS but waiting on a call back. I'm requesting a FSH level and TSH for my thyroid too while I'm at it. I was a little upset this morning after seeing the results.
 
I took the test and got a negative.

Yes, go get tested...I am going to get everything tested next month, too.

Try to hang in there until you get tested. Plus, FSH levels can fluctuate (& more than I realized) :hugs:
 
I agree with Indigo on this one...those tests aren't the most accurate.
 
I'm going to need antidepressants at the rate I'm going! The doc called me back and doesn't want to do a FSH and wants to do a AMH which will tell more. I haven't looked this up yet. Something about the ovarian reserve and agreed to the thyroid level. She also suggested a HSG which I told her I already have that scheduled next Tuesday! I hope I can walk in for that HSG without falling into tears next Tuesday. She said that the fertility test with first response has been accurate with those she tested but the FSH does fluctuate monthly and the AMH will tell more. The lines on the fertility test are pretty, it's a shame it's negative! I was hoping to be oblivious to fertility and just be pregnant, but damn! Ok, pity trip/psycho trip over. I'll just wait impatiently for Tuesday to roll around! Grrrr... I'm getting a margarita or 10 tonight!
 
AMH is a good test to have and I'm glad your doc is ordering it for you.
 
My home FSH test was negative , but I hear they are not very accurate.
 
What is up with the forum? I had been on my phone but got off work early and got on my computer and it looks WAY different! And it's taking FOREVER to change pages and it's only this site that's doing it!

I think they just gave it a face lift is all.
 
Well I knew I hadn't started drinking my margaritas yet so wasnt sure if I was having a crazy moment! Lol!
 
I have never heard of this home test?!? Is this U.S. Only? What is it able to tell you??
 
I took it but my results were seemingly normal. (I think)

If the line is less strong than the control line it means you're level is ok, right?

Good luck at your doctor's appt!
 
Ps...Indigo..your spoiler pic almost caused me to die of cuteness!!! Omg!!!
 
Hi - I haven't tried this brand, but I did use a Babystart Fertilcheck female fertility check, I presume it's similar - tests FSH level. However, I consider it a disaster.

When I tested, the result was 'good' - well there were only two options, good or bad. So I thought, great, I'm fine, we'll carry on TTCing. What I didn't know was that the test's threshold between good and bad is around 20, which is very high. Months later when I actually had FSH tested at a fertility clinic, I found out that my FSH was 15 which is high enough to disqualify me from IVF on the NHS, and also from most private IVF clinics as well. The threshold of the home test should really be 10, as doctors consider anything above 10 to be high, and anything below to be normal.

Personally I would steer clear of these tests and stick with FSH and AMH tests from a clinic. BUT, if you get a result that isn't great, try not to get too upset (v difficult, I know) and stay positive, there are lots and lots of success stories with high FSH and/or low AMH. :hugs:
 
I wonder what the level is on first response? Mine was pretty dark! Maybe that's why she was persistent to the AMH. I'm slightly nauseated now. Did you finally find someone that did IVF with that level?

Don't be upset!!! whatever your level is, it is just one piece of a complex puzzle! :hugs: and like I said, there are so many success stories (both naturally and IUI/IVF)!

I did find a clinic, the Lister in London, which doesn't have any FSH limit, and they specialise in women with high FSH - and they have some of the best success rates in the the UK, despite accepting high-FSH women that other clinics reject. (I actually fell preg naturally in my 'off' cycle before starting IVF.)
 
This site has given me hope at times. its a long list of women over 40 with high FSH success storys. https://singledigitpercent.blogspot.com/2009/05/over-40-high-fsh-success-stories.html

Thankyou!
 
I had my HSG today, apparantly I only have one tube to work with! The other stupid one is blocked! They did the blood work today, AMH and thyroid. Should have results in the next couple of days. Appt with my fertility doc to discuss further options on the 21st and what we should do. So, frustrating! (I hope the lab is ok)

I know I am in the wrong forum since I am in my late 20s, but I did a search to see if anyone else was having any luck with this product. I got the same result. So, I'm hoping for the best!
