FSH
Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH) is a crucial reproductive hormone in both men and women, produced by the pituitary gland. In women, it stimulates the ovaries to mature egg follicles; in men, it aids in the production of sperm. FSH levels fluctuate throughout a woman's menstrual cycle and are integral to fertility and reproductive health....
Description
Testing for FSH levels is beneficial for individuals facing fertility issues. Women who have irregular menstrual cycles, are undergoing fertility treatments, or are entering menopause may find it particularly useful. Men with suspected fertility problems or concerns about sperm production can also benefit from this test.
High FSH:
- In women: Irregular or absent menstrual cycles, hot flashes, reduced libido.
- In men: Reduced muscle mass, low libido, infertility issues.
Low FSH:
- In women: Lack of menstruation, infertility.
- In men: Low sperm count, delayed or absent puberty, infertility.
FSH levels typically increase in women as they approach menopause. In men, age-related changes in FSH levels are less pronounced.

The home test was straightforward with easy to follow instructions. The test result was detailed and clear in its presentation. Also had the opportunity to ask questions about the test result.

We looked at a lot of companies offering the same services but made the decision to go forward with get tested because the labs are based here in the UK. The process has been very straight forward.

There are other providers out there, I have tried 3. Gettested was the fastest and the customer service was the best. I even received my test on the day of purchase delivered by a motorbike courier.

I found them to be professional and not too long a wait for results. Helpful with any after questions. Will be using them again if need be. I highly recommend them.
