Key fertility and menopause marker — evaluates reproductive function in both men and women. Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) plays a critical role in reproductive health. In women, it stimulates egg follicle development and is used to evaluate fertility, menstrual irregularities, and menopause. In men, FSH stimulates sperm production. Elevated FSH in women may indicate diminished ovarian reserve or menopause, while in men it may suggest testicular dysfunction. **Clinical use:** Follicle-Stimulating Hormone. Used in fertility evaluation, menopause assessment, and pituitary function testing. ## Who should order it? Women with irregular cycles, infertility, suspected perimenopause/menopause; men with low sperm counts, testicular issues, or hypogonadism workup. ## Biomarkers measured - [FSH](https://www.test-well.com/biomarkers/fsh) ## Price by lab | Lab | Test price | All-in (with $6 fee) | Notes | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Quest Diagnostics | $29.99 | $35.99 | Choose at checkout; walk-in patient service centers nationwide (not NY/NJ) | | Labcorp | $29.99 | $35.99 | Choose at checkout; walk-in patient service centers nationwide (not NY/NJ) | | BioReference (NY & NJ) | $29.99 | $35.99 | New York and New Jersey orders route here automatically | Rhode Island is not served.

In women, persistently elevated FSH (>25 mIU/mL on multiple draws) suggests diminished ovarian reserve or menopause. In men, elevated FSH with low testosterone suggests primary testicular failure rather than a pituitary issue. Pair with [Estradiol](https://www.test-well.com/tests/estradiol) and [AMH](https://www.test-well.com/tests/amh) for a complete fertility picture. ### When in my cycle should I test FSH? Day 3 of your cycle (counting day 1 as the first full day of bleeding) is the standard for ovarian-reserve evaluation. Pair with [Estradiol](https://www.test-well.com/tests/estradiol) on the same draw — high FSH with low estradiol confirms ovarian failure. ### What's a normal FSH range? Reproductive-age women: 1-9 mIU/mL on day 3. Menopausal women: 25-135 mIU/mL. Men: 1.5-12.4 mIU/mL. Children before puberty: under 4 mIU/mL. ### How much does an FSH test cost without insurance? On TestWell, FSH is $29.99. Quest Direct lists the same test at $40, walk-in hospital labs typically bill $90-120 without insurance. Same CLIA-certified labs, same biomarker — TestWell just removes the markup. ### What is the CPT code for an FSH test? The CPT code for Follicle-Stimulating Hormone is 83001. LH (often ordered together for fertility) is 83002. ### Should I order FSH alone or with other fertility hormones? Almost always together. Day-3 FSH + [Estradiol](https://www.test-well.com/tests/estradiol) + [LH](https://www.test-well.com/tests/luteinizing-hormone) + [AMH](https://www.test-well.com/tests/amh) gives the complete reserve picture.
