Doc had asked me to do an FSH test earlier for some other reason. Now my period is late and im just wondering if that same test can show pregnancy or its totally different. Bit confused honestly.
I have been researching this too! No, from what I understand, FSH test is for checking how active your ovaries are, especially if you have irregular periods. For pregnancy, you need to do a beta-hCG blood test or just a simple urine kit from the chemist.
I totally understand how confusing all these medical terms can be when you are eagerly waiting for good news! But honey, FSH is only to check your fertility reserve. To check if your little one has arrived, a regular urine pregnancy test or an hCG blood test is what you need. Hugs to you!
Actually, yaar, FSH is totally different. It is a hormone that checks your egg reserve or fertility, not pregnancy. For pregnancy, you need to check hCG levels, which is what home urine test kits or blood pregnancy tests do. Don't waste money on FSH for checking pregnancy.
No, didi. FSH is follicle stimulating hormone, and it is usually done on day 2 or 3 of your period to check your eggs. If you want to check if you are pregnant, please buy a home pregnancy kit, that tests for hCG. I hope you get your positive news soon.
