Menopause FSH test

[BostonGirl123]

I ordered a menopause FSH test online for about $10. Basically you pee on a stick and it tells you if you are going through menopause. Anyone take a test like this before, and was it accurate for you?

Oh interesting!  I haven't - never heard of it.  I think I'm in...perimenopause?  The thing before full menopause?  I'm 41 and seeing changes with my period.

This home test must be fairly new....Haven't heard of it, so I don't know how accurate it might be.....

When I had an FSH test a while ago, I had to go to my doc's office.

I took the test and it tested Positive for high FSH levels so I suspect I'm in perimenopause. I guess I'll bring this up with my doctor.

The brand/manufacturer of the test is Reveal, google "reveal menopause test" if anyone is interested in trying it.

Follicle-stimulating hormone test. Had to look it up. Jesus Christ being a woman sounds complicated sometimes. Though I'm probably approaching the age where I should get my prostate checked. Hmm. Or HHHHHMMMMMMMMMM! as I might say during the procedure.

If you were born female you don't have a prostate. I've been getting the blood test since my 30's. Father had it.

Do you think I was born a female? I shall take that as a compliment. Though I do have a prostate.

Erm. Reading that back I have no idea what point I was trying to make. Whatever it was the point wasn't to sound rude to you notloki, which it does sort of sound like now. Sorry. Or am I being paranoid? Sorry anyway.
