Do you know If high Fsh is linked to recurrent miscarriages? You may remember my post from 2 months ago.. Dx with FSH of 21 and got pg, but miscarried again (found out at 8 weeks embryo stopped growing at 6 weeks, two days after we saw a hb)
I am having tests done for clotting issued and the tissue tested this time. Wondering ifmy high FSH is also an indication of bad eggs and that is why I mc twice. Thanks. |

| The studies don't indicate that. Once you get pregnant, your chances are the same as a non-high fsher of going to term. It is good to get all the testing done. And let me just say that virtually all of the young high fshers I've seen on various boards DO end up getting pregnant and staying pregnant. The fact that you are getting pregnant is huge. |

| I have heard that younger women with high fsh are far more likely than the average population to be fragile x carriers. I'm not sure if that could be linked to recurrent miscarriage, but perhaps it is something to check out. (You can get a blood test at any LabCorps type place to see if you are a carrier, BTW.) |

| I second the rec to get a fragile X test. It's the first thing Cornell checked for when I went there (I'm 33 and my highest FSH was 10.7). Fragile X is part of the Jewish panel, so if you and DH and Jewish you may have already had the test done. |

I will ask OB or RE to do the test. How long to get results do you know?
Thanks to all |

| I'm not sure how long it takes, but I think most clinics/OBs send you to an outside lab like labcorp or quest for Fragile X. You could try calling your lab to find out. I found labcorp to be surprisingly helpful on the phone when I called asking for information about the genetic tests. |

| 9:27 here. I had the test done via LabCorp last summer and got the results in less than a week. |

I requested the test to my ob today. Are any of you carriers? Just starting to read on this, but what does it mean exactly, it's an odds issue when getting pg right? Nothing to be done about it?
Thanks |

| I'm not a carrier so I haven't been counseled on it. I do know you can do genetic testing for it from embryos if you do IVF. |
