Follicle Stimulating
* Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) is produced by the pituitary gland. In women, it helps control the menstrual cycleand the production of eggs by the ovaries. The amount of FSH varies throughout a woman's menstrual cycle and is highest just before she releases an egg (ovulates).
* The amounts of FSH and other hormones (luteinizing hormone, estrogen, and progesterone) are measured in both a man and a woman to determine why the couple cannot achieve pregnancy (infertility). The amount of FSH can help determine whether female sex organs (testicles or ovaries) are functioning properly.
