Question : My Lh is 13.5, fsh 17.6, estradiol 218. No period for 9 months. What is going on? Im 44. Heavy periods up until then, then they just stopped. No other symptoms
Brief Answer:
Perimenopause suggested
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
The symptoms and hormonal results are suggestive for premenopause symptoms.
A “normal” FSH day 3 (when the test is administered or in every day when you do not have menstrual cycle for some months) value is 3-20 mIU/ml, however, FSH levels above 10 to 12 mIU/ml indicate that your ovaries are starting to fail.
In other words, this means that you are in perimenopause — the beginning stages of menopause when you notice physical symptoms, but before you have stopped having a period for a year — or that you have “diminished ovarian reserve”.
So, you are in perimenopause.
Hope i have been helpful.
Kind regards,
Dr.Mirjeta
