Good Morning Ladies - I just got my results back for my FSH and LH tests (ECLIA Method) and they look good FSH is higher than LH so that means no sign of PCOS? (Just like what the lab tech told me when I had my scan, she said no indication that I'm polycystic. Although, my doc told me otherwise. We'll see what she's gonna say now after my result.

FSH - 5.8 mIU/ml
LH - 5.31 mIU/ml

Still waiting for my doc so she can take a look at it and prescribe me the medicines to induce my ovulation. However, i need to discuss with her about the HSG before she put me on whatever medicine that could be. Need to know if there's any blockage in my tubes why we can't conceive knowing i ovulated and DH's SA are very good.


Here's the reference i got on DR. Google regarding hormones.


"Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) - 3-20 mIU/ml

FSH is often used as a gauge of ovarian reserve. In general, under 6 is excellent, 6-9 is good, 9-10 fair, 10-13 diminished reserve, 13+ very hard to stimulate. In PCOS testing, the LH:FSH ratio may be used in the diagnosis. The ratio is usually close to 1:1, but if the LH is higher, it is one possible indication of PCOS.

Luteinizing Hormone (LH) - < 7 mIU/ml

A normal LH level is similar to FSH. An LH that is higher than FSH is one indication of PCOS."

Daphne, those results look great!!!! Glad you do not appear to have PCOS!!

Still waiting for my turn. I will inform you my doc's opinion and if she's gonna put me on med for my ovulation.... I hope these tests will help me find that soon....

I have heard that femara seems to work well for a lot of ladies without all the side effects of clomid. I will def take either, whatever brings me my BFP! But, I had the darkest OPK ever while on clomid, so it def made O stronger!!!

 

[Wishing1010]

Jess, happy belated anniversary (can't remember if I said it the other day or not). I'm sorry your anniversary trip had to come to an end. Start planning another get away, makes you have something to look forward to! And I hope you will either be ready to, or will already, have a baby by your next anniversary!!!!

 

[mdscpa]

She put me on clomid. Same thing i took years ago when i produce 2 eggs. starting today until CD8. And i'll go back again on CD9,CD11 and CD13 to see how my eggs are responding and depending on the result if she's gonna up my dose or have me on clomid + injectibles.... Still making an appointment for my HSG after my period. Have to do all these things to have that seems too much but i have to. We're not getting any younger....

 

[Wishing1010]

I completely agree there. I want to try as hard as possible, before it's too late!! Hope it all works for you!!!

Eeee I need some help! I started spotting today. AF isn't due for another week. Could it be implantation spotting? According to FF I am 11 DPO. But, a friend of mine said I could maybe only be 9 DPO. I also had a bit of a temp drop today. Got a BFN this morning... When should I test again???

ur spotting seems right on. AF would be due between now and the next 3 days for u. Ur LP will ALWAYS stay about the same length...and it wont be any longer than 12-15 days. I figured id let u know this for testing and ur next cycle. Ur WHOLE cycle length can change but ur LP will still the same so after u O, always count the 12-15 days (w.e ur LP ends up being) and that'll let u know exactly when AF is due.

Id wait two more days and try testing again. By then, AF should be due. Good luck!!!!!! FX super tight for u!

Daphne, I'm so glad your tests came back normal and your doc is putting you back on Clomid. I agree, when we want our baby, there is nothing we won't try and it will be so worth it!

wncmomma, YES! That is a BFP!

If I were you, I'd be testing this afternoon and if it's dark enough to see really clearly, go ahead and tell hubby!! Yesterday what happened for me was the test got darker as the day went on so by the time he saw it, it was super clear and I felt confident he would see the line.

I'm so glad I told him and my mom and sister yesterday! I wanted to test this morning but my urine didn't look dark enough, so I'm waiting. If I get dark pee at some point today I'll test, otherwise I'm gonna try to wait one more day. This is surreal. Hubby and I couldn't fall asleep last night despite being totally exhausted, because we were so excited! Also my mom is so cute, she told me to start taking prenatals. Oh momma. I've been on them for 8 months! Lol.

 

[Wishing1010]

I'd be too excited to sleep as well!!! Lol

 

[aidensmommy1]

Me too! Lol

And ur moms cute Megan if only she knew all the things we have to do just to get preggers lol

 

[aidensmommy1]

Kenna, I decided to take AF off from temping . These 4 days will be the longest I've gone without temping since I started so I get to sleep an extra hr for the next couple days..yay! Lol I looovee my sleep (prob because I don't think about ttc) lol

 

[Wishing1010]

It's kinda pointless to temp during AF in my opinion! And now that I do it vaginally, I don't even feel tempted to take my temp! Don't want to deal with a mess

 

[mdscpa]

Me, i'll stick to oral again this time and probably do it vaginally next cycle if i have to i read a ton of forums that it's more accurate so we'll see... I just wish this period becomes short this time. Although i'm sure it's gonna be. So i can proceed with my HSG asap before we miss my fertile window....

 

[MandaB]

Congrats Megan and Wncmomma!!! So happy for you both! Motivating to see that there is hope after all

Mdscpa, your labs look great! Good luck on Clomid. I'm on femera...just finished month 1 and headed into month 2. Think AF's gonna be here any min now.

 

[Megamegan]

Daphne- If your period is still around at CD7, I bet they will still do the HSG. CD7 is the earliest they do it, according to my doctor, and that way you won't miss your fertile window.

AFM: I have to admit I'm nervous about re-testing. I just don't want that line to disappear and I want it to get darker so I can feel good about testing at the doctor without them going "eh the line isn't dark enough to be positive".... on the phone yesterday I felt like I was trying to explain to the woman that I was sure of my dates and sure of my positive test and I felt like she didn't believe me because when she heard the date of my last period she said it was still really early... duh lady I know that. I just want them to believe me. Lol. I'm still worried this is all too good to be true... but there's a first time for everything...

Here's some baby dust for my favorite ttc buddies. Your support and cheering gets me through each day of this long process. Thank you!

Thank you, i just hope i can get an appointment for my HSG as soon as my period ends. Do you temp? If not, i advise you to. It helped me alot pinpointing my possible O day. And gives you an idea on when to expect your period. I think it's better if she's arriving than be stuck in limbo. How may dpo are you now?

 

[Wishing1010]

So sorry that you feel AF will be here soon, Manda FX for this cycle!!!
