	FSH Tests - Follicle Stimulating Hormone
		The FSH test should be used on cycle day 3 (the third day of menstrual bleeding) and follow up tests should be conducted on cycle days 4 and 5.
		FSH tests are designed for women in cases where elevated levels of FSH may be associated with infertility and/or the onset of menopause.
		FSH tests are commonly used to evaluate a woman's egg supply (ovarian reserve) if she is infertile and assist in evaluating menstrual problems, irregular or absent menstrual periods.

	eMedicine - Follicle-Stimulating Hormone Abnormalities : Article Excerpt by Serge A Jabbour
		FSH and LH are composed of alpha and beta subunits.
		FSH stimulates testicular growth and enhances the production of an androgen-binding protein by the Sertoli cells, which are a component of the testicular tubule necessary for sustaining the maturing sperm cell.
		FSH abnormalities are divided into 2 major groups (low or high), depending on FSH levels.

	FSH: The Test
		FSH is often used in conjunction with other tests (LH, testosterone, estradiol, and progesterone) in the workup of infertility in both men and women.
		FSH levels are also useful in the investigation of menstrual irregularities and to aid in the diagnosis of pituitary disorders or diseases involving the ovaries or testes.
		In women, FSH and LH levels can help to differentiate between primary ovarian failure (failure of the ovaries themselves) and secondary ovarian failure (failure of the ovaries due to disorders of either the pituitary or the hypothalamus).

		FSH is produced by the pituitary gland under the influence of GnRH, which is released by the hypothalamus.
		When FSH is given by injection, it directly stimulates the recruitment and development of follicles in contrast to Clomid, which works at the hypothalamus.
		FSH should only be administered by an infertility specialist / reproductive endocrinologist thoroughly trained in its use.

	FSH Hormone Tests
		FSH is the hormone that initiates the human female reproduction and ovulation sequence.
		FSH in particular is responsible for the stimulation and swelling of the egg follicles in one or both of the ovaries.
		If FSH levels remain elevated at 25 mIU/ml or greater during the entire cycle, then this is evidence that the pituitary gland is continuing to produce FSH because there has been an interruption or failure in normal egg follicle stimulation; ie: the system has failed to receive a successful ovulation "message".

	Medical Conditions - Reproductive Endocrinology
		Follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) is a hormone produced by the beta cells of the anterior pituitary gland in response to the release of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) from the hypothalamus.
		FSH levels taken on day 2 or 3 of the menstrual cycle (depending on the length of the follicular phase) are an indicator of follicular reserve.
		A low serum LH to FSH ratio (0.15 to 1.5) on cycle day 2 or 3 may be used as an early biomarker of poor ovarian response when evaluating potential IVF outcome.

	HORMONE Tests
		A sample of your blood is taken to measure the levels of FSH -- follicle stimulating hormone -- in your blood.
		You may even be getting periods with your FSH levels this high, but it still is a sign that your body isn't producing enough estrogen to maintain regular ovarian function.
		Once your FSH levels have reached a certain height for a period of time, it's highly unlikely that they'll drop back to premenopausal levels.

	FSH stimulates hyaluronic acid synthesis by oocyte−cumulus cell complexes from mouse preovulatory follicles
		FSH stimulates hyaluronic acid synthesis by oocyte−cumulus cell complexes from mouse preovulatory follicles
		It has generally been thought that LH is primarily responsible for the stimulation of the maturational processes in preovulatory follicles that results in ovulation and corpus luteum formation, and that FSH stimulates the development of the next wave of preovulatory follicles.
		A critical step in cumulus expansion is the deposition of a hyaluronic acid matrix, so that the synthesis of this glycosaminoglycan is very important in the preparation of the mouse oocyte−cumulus cell complex for normal ovulation.

	FSH as a test for menopause
		The FSH test is basically useless for determining what stage of the perimenopausal transition anybody is in.
		It is concluded that the appearance of high levels of FSH and LH is characteristic of the perimenopause and often precedes the sustained loss of sex hormone secretion by the ageing ovary.
		It is concluded that FSH measurement is of little value, if any in the assessment of women during the menopausal transition because it cannot be interpreted reliably and because, apparently, ovulatory (and, presumably, potentially fertile) cycles may occur subsequent to the observation of postmenopausal FSH levels.

		Control of FSH production is a complex system involving hormones produced by the gonads (ovaries or testes), the pituitary gland, and the hypothalamus, such as gonadotrophin-releasing hormone (GnRH).
		In women, FSH stimulates the growth and develpoment of ovarian follicles (eggs) during the follicular phase of the menstrual cycle.

		The FSH surge is generally that of ten (10) fold (approximately 110 mIU/ml, can reach as high as 500 mIU/ml) compared to normal levels.
		A positive FSH test only tells you that FSH levels in your body are at or greater than 25 mIU/ml (elevated) and you may be in the transition of menopause.
		This test is for FSH use only and is not to be used as a pregnancy or ovulation test.

	IPOF Association: Dr. Nanette Santoro's POF FAQ: FSH
		What is 'normal' for FSH varies by laboratory, by stage of the cycle in which the FSH was taken (it will be higher in the first few days after a period and at the time of ovulation, and very low after ovulation), and by condition.
		To test your FSH on day 1 would mean that you would have to get to a lab on the first day of your period, it's just not very practical.
		It happens that FSH is highest in the beginning of the cycle and it's been shown in several studies that it's elevated between days 2-5 about similarly, so those are the best days to check it.

		A normal day three FSH level is helpful with regard to a woman's ovarian reserve, however it is not completely predictive of a good response to fertility medication.
		This is of critical importance, since in one lab an FSH level of 12 may be considered normal, and in another lab it would fall into the abnormal range.
		An FSH and estradiol level is measured on the third day of the cycle and then the medication clomiphene is taken, 100 mg on cycle days five through nine.
