What exactly does the Menopause Home Test measure?
The test measures FSH levels. FSH is short for Follicle Stimulating Hormone. FSH is produced by the pituitary gland at the base (bottom) of the brain. FSH is always present in the body, but the pituitary produces more of this hormone when the ovaries slow down the production of eggs. High levels of FSH are associated with low estrogen levels, thus a positive FSH level, as measured by the Menopause Home Test , can help a woman identify that her period changes are caused by menopause .
