During puberty, standard levels of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) for people assigned female at birth range from 0.3–10 international units per liter (IU/L). During the...
On average, FSH levels are much higher in female individuals compared to males, with blood levels typically measuring between 0-4.0 mIU/mL before puberty, 0.3 to 10.0 mIU/mL during puberty, 4.7 to 21.5 mIU/mL during menstruating years, and 25.8 to 134.8 mIU/mL after menopause.
But how can you know what’s considered “normal” FSH for your age? And when should you get your FSH levels tested? We’ve done the research for you! Let’s dive into what high or low FSH levels could mean and check out our normal FSH levels by age chart for reference!
What are normal FSH levels? Normal follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) levels vary based on your age and sex organs. It’s also important to remember that normal ranges for FSH levels can vary from lab to lab. Always reference the lab’s normal range on your blood test report.
Here are the normal FSH ranges based on puberty status (there may be slight variation according to the lab used): High FSH levels can mean your body is working harder to produce the hormone, and you're not producing quality eggs. Some conditions can cause elevated FSH levels, including:
Normal FSH levels will differ, depending on a person's age and sex. Male: Before puberty: 0 to 5.0 mIU/mL (0 to 5.0 IU/L) During puberty: 0.3 to 10.0 mIU/mL (0.3 to 10.0 IU/L) Adult: 1.5 to 12.4 mIU/mL (1.5 to 12.4 IU/L) Female: Before puberty: 0 to 4.0 mIU/mL (0 to 4.0 IU/L) During puberty: 0.3 to 10.0 mIU/mL (0.3 to 10.0 IU/L)
Most labs and studies state a “normal” range for menopausal women of about 0.03-0.3 ng/ml. By way of comparison, pre-menopausal women will have progesterone levels at about 7-38 ng/ml during their luteal phase.
Normal findings for FSH (IU/L) Adult [1] Male: 1.42-15.4. Female: Child (age 1-10 years) [1] Male: 0.3-4.6. Female: 0.68-6.7. The reference range for follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) is as...
FSH is measured in milli-international units per milliliter (mIU/mL). Normal results of this test for men are: If you are a woman, the normal results depend on where you are in your menstrual cycle. Your healthcare provider will help you understand the results. Normal results are:
