Sorry to hear you are going through this! I will try to help with some info based on my own research/learning through my own IF journey.
FSH= Follicle Stimulation Hormone. It measures how well you should respond to fertility meds. Below 10 is thought of as good, and above 10 means you may not respond as well/you could have low ovarian reserve. I pulled the info below off a website. HTH.
Also, I think you will rcv. more info once you meet with an RE and they can provide more info and answer your questions.
I would not give up yet!

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). Increased levels of FSH and LH are consistent with primary ovarian failure. Some causes of primary ovarian failure are listed below.
Developmental defects:
- Ovarian agenesis (failure to develop ovaries)
- Chromosomal abnormality, such as Turner’s syndrome
- Ovarian steroidogenesis defect, such as 17 alpha hydroxylase deficiency
Premature ovarian failure due to:
Chronic anovulation (failure to ovulate) due to:
When a woman enters
menopause and her ovaries stop working, FSH levels will rise.
Low levels of FSH and LH are consistent with secondary ovarian failure due to a pituitary or hypothalamic problem.
