Hi guys,
Just got my results and I haven't got a clue what they mean, I only spoke to the receptionist:
Eastro 358
Progesterone 14.4
LH 6.6
Fsh 5.3

If anyone can help I'd be grateful. Oh ya, it was day 19 as it fell on a weekend.
Thanks :)
 
Hi,

A few Q's before I answer....

are these UK labs?
were they all done of day 19 or were the estrogen/fsh/lh done at the beginning of your cycle (as is common)

do you know if/when you ovulated that cycle?
 
Irish lab?
All done on day 19, I was wondering also why she gave me fsh as I got these done on cd3.
The only reason I had bloods was to see if I had ovulated or not, for definite from the blood results.
From previous charting I usually ov around day 16 or 17.
 
Ok thanks - different countries have different scales that's all so, i wanted to check the 14.4 wasn't on the US scale.

Well, usually fsh etc are done on CD3 but i guess your GP was trying to see if you've ovulated and if not the other results might indicate where you are in your cycle.

The CD21 test is best done mid luteal phase so 7dpo.....but if you don't know when you ovulate then obviously you have to just guess a little :)

I would interpret your results as yes you've ovulated but given that your result for CD21 is a touch low (it should peak at over 30 ideally at 7dpo) i would say you probably omnly ovulated 2 or 3 days earlier and had not yet peaked.

I don't think you can use those results to tell you much more than that tbh, if estradiol,fsh,lh were done on day 2-5 you could and if you were confident your progesterone were tested at 7dpo the result might tell you more......as it is it just says you've ovulated, possibly just a few days before.

I would expect your Dr will want you to track O so you can have the test at 7dpo.......some (UK admittedly maybe the irish are better) GP's are frighteningly ignorant and would tell you your result was poor because they insist everyone must ovulate on day 14.....don't let them tell you that ;)

If you get a print off of the results don't be too alarmed by the normal ranges....they would typically be for if the lh/fsh/estradio had been tested days 2-5 like i say.
 
Your progesterone is perfect. They want it to be over 10 but 14 is really good. The other ones, I'm not sure about. Hopefully you can get some help on that.
 
hopingforit - are you in the US? The uk and europe use a different scale for measuring progesterone, ours is about 3 x yours ie your over 10 is our over 30 ;)
 
Thanks Nell. :) I must check my day 3 results to compare. It was funny, the receptionist said 'they are all ok as nothing is highlighted in red'
I am going to see a gynae specialist next week as we are starting IUI, separate to my gp, I just wanted to have confirmation on paper to say I had ovulated. I used to temp for ages and I always ov quite late in my cycle.
I'm sure when I bring both cd3 and these results, the gynae will be able to read! Fingers crossed.
 
Your gynae will be great, it's just the GPs that seem to get confused :)

Good Luck :)

Yes, I am from the US. Thank you for the information. I figured everyone used the same scale (though I don't know why because the US always uses weird scales compared to the rest of the world).
