Fsh symptoms and conditions

I've posted previously about my experiences with the Mirena....had it removed Feb 7 after only 5 months due to acne, bloating, low libido, dizziness, heart palpitations, mental fogginess. In the 5 months that I had the Mirena, I had two periods, one that started Dec. 24, 07 and one that started Jan. 17, 08. After the removal, I had 2 days of a light period/spotting and that's it. Multiple negative pregnancy tests but still no period. So I called up my Dr's office and he wanted to run some labs, test my FSH and Estradiol. They said it would be a week to a week and a half....but the nurse called me back this morning! She starts off with "Are you somewhere where you can talk?".....she tells me that an FSH of 34 or higher is considered menopausal...and mine is 107!!! I am 43! So the Dr wants to repeat the test in 6 weeks and then I have a consultation with him a week later. I had been having periods prior to the Mirena, even though they would occasionally come a few days early or a few days late. I am absolutely stunned. I have been having hot flashes at night...not sweats but waking up hot....and I guess that's why the Dr decided to do some labs. I wonder (as I'm sure he is) if this Mirena, and the lack of ovulation, is the reason for this or if I am really menopausal at this point. My Mother did not experience menopause until 49 although I know that does not necessarily mean that it will be the same for me. I am just stunned.

difficult to separate effects of FSH from ganirelix. these included tender breasts and swelling, bloating, pelvic pain, gas.

hi bitterrn and everyone else here you are all great women i am not throwing up but it feels just like morning sickness i was on this pill for almost 2 years and did not notice any symptoms untill sept of 06 but when i think back i can think of little odd things like i was never feeling good. i run a business and everyday is a complete struggle its hard because alot of women here complain alot even after being off of this poison a full year how can i avoid not fully breaking down when i know i have such a long road ahead of me this pill has completely destroyed my life. my doctor ordered some blood tests fsh, cortisol, LH, a bunch of other things im not sure what time of the month of my cycle would be the best time to have my blood drawn. i feel the best when i am bleeding is that weird or what. anyway i come here everyday and read these posts all of you women are so wonderful i wish everyone a fast recovery

@ bitterRN!!

Hi you! Hope you're still there!?

Just wanted to let you know the results of my bloodwork of last week (hormonal test):

LH 3,27 mUL/ml
FSH 5,38 mUl/ml
Estradiol 38,36 pg/ml
Prolaktin 26,00 ng/ml
Testosteron 0,37 ng/ml

I'm sorry, I don't know the english words for the above... I hope it's nearly similar to the german words and you know what those results mean...?

A few weeks ago you mentioned a thought about low testosterone. Does that sound low to you? (Don't have any idea about those results, yet... I have a telephone appointment with my gyn in about 3 hours to talk about it.)

Thank you in advance!!

Best wishes

hi all,
just a quick update,i went to see my gp today. i had some test done last month,i had fsh,testosterone and progesterone. i was tested on day 3 of my cycle. according to my gp my results were all "normal" but in the low end of normal. so basilcally i have low levels of the major hormones. my period came this month after 29 days which is an improvement on the 33-38 days i have had since i came off yasmin. I am still experiencing problems in the 10-12 days leading up to my period but they basically seem like really exaggerated forms of pms. i am going to try adding some agnus castus (vitex) to my list of vitamins to see if that will help. will keep you all posted!

silke.
let us all know how you get on with your results and how you are feeling.
