Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) Blood Test
Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) is a hormone produced in the brain and is an essential part of egg production. It stimulates the follicles in the ovaries to enlarge, leading to egg release. Understanding your FSH level during your menstrual cycle can help investigate your potential fertility.

Frequently Asked Questions
No, we will send you the results and recommend that you share these with your GP or fertility provider.
It is not unusual for some bleeding to occur under the skin following your blood test and sometimes this can extend a little further around the puncture site. If this causes you concern, check with your practice nurse.
Sometimes we cannot get a blood sample from you. This can be for many reasons, such as not being hydrated enough, feeling cold or having another blood test recently. We will always offer you another appointment so we can try again.
