PLEASE HELP! Luteal phase defect/low progesterone! - Page 2

2016 · Jan 6th, 2010, 08:07 AM

Going to get my blood results in 3 hours time. The recptionist wouldn't tell me the results which means they found something. They will normally say "all tests came back normal" if the doctor finds everything in the normal range when he reviews them.
I am almost pleased if they found something because I *knew* something was wrong...now lets just hope it easy to fix and that they are willing to refer me to a specialist!

Well girls, my scores were:

Oestrogen --- Normal
Prolactin ----- 133
LH ----- 8.8
FSH ----- 5.8
Progesterone -- 3 !

So guess what – I have a progesterone deficiency/luteal phase defect! No surprises there then! I cannot begin to tell you how relieved I am that I am not totally insane! Never thought I would be glad to have abnormal bloods come back. While it is not “good news” at least it is being acknowledged by the doctor now and I have been referred to a specialist for treatment.

The earliest date I can get in with the specialist is Monday 8th February @ 10am so that means no help for this cycle and half of next
I have, however, managed to get some benefit approved on a mini private health plan I have so am going to be ringing around to see if I can get in to see someone earlier!

I will be taking these results to the GP/acupuncturist on Friday so will see what he says.

I am feeling a new surge of hope right now!
