Hi all,
Please can anyone help? I'm having a hard time. I'm a single parent and highly anxious right now about high fsh results. I'm trying to understand if it is menopause or brain tumour I'm dealing with and I'm struggling with dealing with doctors (my previous gp is in prison for sexual assaulting patients).
My recent results:
Oestradiol - 17 days in cycle - 899
Day 2
Fsh - 28.8
lh 13.7
Day 3
Fsh 31.5
lh 15.8
Day 4
Fsh 32.6
lh 16.5
oestradiol 113
41, pelvic pain and only very occasional odd period (shorter) since 2020. Mostly normal until June this year. June I had loads of stress- relationship breakup and diagnosed with high risk hpv, moving house and lots of other life events. Period in August was very heavy. Bleeding this month was on time and normal but day 3 fsh was very high (see above).
I saw gp twice last year who did fsh test but only one and didn't advise it needs to be day 3. Both results were low but I think it's because it was late in the cycle. I took matters into my own hands and paid privately for tests - results above.
Other than occasional odd bleeding, I don't have any other perimenopause symptoms. No sweats or anything else.
Does this sound like menopause and do my results fit that? Any help would be appreciated. I'm waiting to see a gp in 4 weeks. Thanks
