Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

My LH level is 4.30 and FSH level is 6.88 on the day two of my cycle. Is it normal?

Answered by Dr. Uzma Arqam

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

LH (luteinizing hormone) most of the time during the menstrual cycle is between 5 to 10 but around ovulation, hormone could increase. FSH (follicle-stimulating hormone) 10 or above considered abnormal. FSH is normal here for you whereas LH just near lower limit. Not very abnormal. If you are trying to conceive better to have a healthy diet with daily walk and exercise, sexin the fertile period of your cycle and have folic acid daily 0.4 mg with some recreational activity.
