FSH

I am regularly asked how women can confirm whether they are in perimenopause or not.....unfortunately there is no one blood test that will confirm this and personally I believe it's your cycles and your symptoms that will tell you what is happening. However, FSH levels can give an indication of what is going on but please remember these vary depending on where you are at in your cycle and your cycle length - the below shows the levels for each of the 3 stages. So if you are due to have blood tests down and have symptoms it is worth asking your GP to test FSH levels. My FSH level is firmly in the Perimenopause zone 🤣
