Can you get pregnant with high FSH levels? - Dr. Rashmi Yogish | Doctors' Circle

FSH or Follicle Stimulating Hormone is a hormone which is usually measured in the blood in the 2nd or the 3rd day of the cycle. The normal levels of FSH are supposed to be 10 or maximum 12 IU per ml. however in women with reduced ovarian reserve and women beyond the age of 35 or 40 there can be significant elevation in the FSH levels. High FSH levels indicates that the follicular numbers recruited for that particular cycle is less and that is an indicator for reduced response to ovulation response and reduced pregnancy rate or that particular month. it is observed that the FSH level can be different in every cycle in a woman is different and these levels of FSH and LH are different in every cycle. The levels of FSH less than 10 indicates that there is reduction in the ovarian reserve and when the FSH level is more than 40, it indicates that there has been a transition to menopause. It has been observed that in women who are closer to menopause and in women with significantly low ovarian reserve, there is a huge intercycle variation of the FSH levels. In 1 month the FSH level will be 3 or 4 and the very next month, the FSH can go upto 15 or 16. We usually measure the FSH level on the 2nd day of the cycle and ensure that it is less than 14 before we start ovulation indication for pregnancy. The question can one try for pregnancy with high FSH level is very difficult to answer because there have been reported pregnancies and healthy children being born, even with FSH levels being as high as 25 and at the same time, there cannot be a pregnancy achieved, as the FSH assumes 5 and 6. So it is difficult to predict if FSH is the only predictor for pregnancy to happen. However it is one of the markers for ovarian reserve and the response to ovulation indication for a particular month.
