Low Estradiol - What does it mean?

[gymfiend]

Hi Ladies

Sorry to barge in on here but I am hoping for a little help

A little about me...

I'm 22, [nearly 23], OH is 28. I came off of the pill in April of this year by accident, I literally forgot to take it for a few days so stopped & thought I would go back on as soon as I got my period. Fast forward 8 months & still no period, having taken hundreds of tests, that are always a we decided we would start TTC...think we both wanted it deep down but almost didn't dare to admit it.

Anyway as I say 8 months on no period, Dr's have taken blood tests which state I have low estradiol, everything else is normal except prolactin which they are re-testing. They set me on the progesteron [sp?!] challenge to which I had a couple of spots but no real bleeding. Since then I have had an internal scan to see what's going on...the good news from that was that I do have a womb and ovaries at the very least...!!! But they didn't tell me anything else.

I go to see the gyne on Thursday but am hoping someone can shed some light if they've been in the same shoes, so I can prepare myself mentally and try to avoid having a crazed breakdown in their office!!!

Thank you for reading & in advance for any advice

xxxx
