predominate. - ANSWER: Stages +1a, +1b, +1c
Endocrine labs after menopause - ANSWER: Elevated FSH, LH

ANSWER: Late reporoductive years -3b and -3a. What happens with menstrual
cycles, FSH, AMH, AFC, inhibin?
Cycle day #3. Elevated estradiol can suppress FSH giving a falsely normal FSH level. -
ANSWER: When it is appropriate to check an FSH during the cycle if you check it? and
why?
produced by granulosa cells
used to test damage to ovarian follicle reserve. If AMH is low, the woman has a low
ovarian reserve.
, not recommended as a screening tool to predict fertility.
Peaks at around 25 years old. So before age 25, this test is not helpful.
It is influenced by exogenous hormones. Lower in hormonal contraception users, but

produced by...
used to test...

follicles. - ANSWER: AFC
25 or higher - ANSWER: Late menopause transition (-1) FSH level on random draw
Higher - ANSWER: Black women have higher or lower FSH levels?
lower - ANSWER: Chinese and Japanese women have higher or lower estradiol levels
compared to white, black and hispanic women?
