FSH results....strange?
When DX I was peri-meno. Two months after trt my onc checked my FSH...results were 77.29 which she said was in meno-pausal range. But my estradiol was always high unless I had zoladex in order to take Femara. I decided to get an ooph and that way I could quit the zoladex and just take Femara with no added problems.
So after having an ooph on 4-5-07 my onc checked my FSH again expecting it to still be in the menopausal range. But *instead* it was 6.3 which would make me peri-meno and that's not possible since I had the ooph. I asked her why it would go from 77.29 BEFORE my ooph to 6.3 after? She had no idea. So she ran my FSH again recently and it was even lower. This time 5.2. My onc said she has never seen anything like this & has no explanation for it. Does anyone have any idea why my FSH would go from menopausal to peri-meno AFTER having a ooph?
