FSH
FSH is tracked as part of hormones. Higher results are the ones to watch. A common adult reference interval is 1.5–25 mIU/mL.
Typical adult range
- Reference interval
- 1.5–25 mIU/mL
- Often-cited tighter window

Cycle-phase dependent. Your own lab's printed range is the one that applies to your result.
What commonly moves it

These are commonly described physiological relationships, shared for education. They are not a diagnosis and cannot account for your medications, history, or symptoms — discuss your results with a licensed clinician.
