Brief Answer:
FSH high, indicating perimenopausal period

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear,
I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
Your FSH levels are on a higher range indicating decreased ovarian function which is present in perimenopausal period.
Menstrual cycles are irregular and scanty in perimenopausal period.
LH and prolactin are not deranged in perimenopausal period.
However, those values are normal in your case.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Please do get back for further queries.
Wishing you good health.
