A persistently elevated (above 75-100) FSH indicates ovarian failure(no eggs left in ovary). A low FSH means that there is some estrogen coming from somewhere either ovary(egg) or pills or shots. Estrogen causes the pituitary galnd to decrease FSH production, no estrogen causes the Pituitary gland to make large amounts of FSH.
