I didn't even know home FSH tests existed!
I did get my FSH level tested many times (requirements of going through any fertility treatments where I live), and my FSH jumped 4 points over a couple year span, and my final FSH was 12... super sucky considering my age.
My doc said FSH can be an unreliable indicator for some women, and told me that AMH was much more indicative... I got my AMH tested and it was totally in the typical range.
I would ask your doc about both these tests... and if your FSH comes back high, I think it would be worth it to look into your AMH. We had to pay 250$ for this test, but I'm glad I did... it totally put my mind at ease.
