Re: Response to high FSH levels

Hi Martina,

I'm not anywhere near the stage that you are in knowing all this information. My doctor hasn't told me much. My husband and I are not trying to conceive at the moment but I found out this information once I hadn't gotten my period for a couple of months and saw my doctor. I was sent to a gyn. and he did all these tests. Thats when my FSH came back at 79. I didn't know that it could mean POF until researching online. His immediate steps were to first rule out a pituitary tumour that may be causing this malfunction of the pituitary gland. I am waiting for MRI results and should be getting them on Nov. 20. I'm not even sure what I want the results to be. I'm almost hoping that I have this tumour so then it can be treated and my fertility be restored. I don't even know if it works that way.

I have always known that I want to have children. It's definitely one of the most important things to me. I know how you feel about it being a hard blow. A few days after I found out this information my husbands brother announces that he and his girlfriend are accidently expecting. I was very upset.
Is it true that you will reach menopause soon? Is that what happens once your FSH levels start to rise? I have gotten my period for the last few months and that seems to be normal now but the levels are still quite high (22). I'm wondering if I should try and conceive now as maybe my chances will be higher now as opposed to later when my husband and I wanted to start trying (a couple of years). What do you think?
Also, do you have any other symptoms of high FSH? Like hot flashes etc.?
