Thank you for your question.
FSH stands for follicle-stimulating hormone. Below are the normal ranges for FSH.
Before puberty: 0-5.0 IU/L
During puberty: 0.3-10.0 IU/L
Follicular phase of the menstrual cycle: 3.5-12.5 IU/L
Mid-cycle: 4.7-21.5 IU/L
Luteal phase of the menstrual cycle: 1.7-7.7 IU/L
Postmenopausal: 25.8-134.8 IU/L
You are currently in the luteal phase which means (premenstrual) according to the test. When a womans body enters menopause, the FSH rises while the ovaries begin to decease in productivity. Here is a link from Medicine Net that will provide more information. According to Medicine Net, there is no clear test to predict menopause. I hope this helps your question.
