progesterone induction
Posted: Sun Nov 04, 2018 3:35 pm
I am in my mid 40s and my cycles have become erratic. In addition, my FSH turned up, for the first time in many years, quite high - 78 this summer. This was however measured totally out of cycle as I had not have a period in 2.5 months at that time. My ob-gyn was quick to label me menopausal, with no further discussion -- based only on the FSH, despite the fact that I still have around 10 visible follicles on ultrasounds I have done elsewhere, and that I do not have any other signs of menopause. More specifically, the ob-gyn refuses to let me try to induce a withdrawal bleeding with the progesterone.
Do you recommend or approve a progesterone induction in cases like this, or do you subscribe to the notion that a high FSH indicates menopause?
Thank you.
