Test for the FSH value

An FSH test is used to determine the FSH concentration in serum in cases such as unfulfilled desire for children or lack of puberty. For this purpose, blood is taken from the doctor.Since the test is a snapshot, the day of the cycle on which the blood sample is taken must be taken into account. To obtain a meaningful value, the FSH test should be taken between the 3rd and 5th day of the cycle, i.e. during menstruation.

It must also be noted that hormone preparations, such as the pill, falsify the values. Therefore, they should not be taken for at least 4-6 weeks before taking the blood sample.
