Just got my blood results back. They've tested LH, FSH, prolactin and Oestradiol too. I thought they were just testing my thyroid. Is anyone good at interpreting these results? She said my levels were all normal but I have no idea what the figures mean?!
My results:
LH: 3.7
FSH: 3.7
Oestradiol: 232
Prolactin: 132
The test was done on CD9 (straight after chemical pregnancy). From today's OPK, it looks like I will ovulate tomorrow (CD18). I know they should have done the test earlier in my cycle, but I didn't realise they were testing for LH/FSH too, and the GP insisted I wait another week before the blood test to make sure any imbalances from the chemical had died down.
Thanks Kiara, that's really useful to know. It was the Prolactin and Oestradiol that I was most interested in, as I figured my ovulation was OK because I've been managing to conceive. I was worried I could have excess prolactin from breastfeeding, but the tests don't seem to indicate that, so that is good. I also suspect that my estrogen levels are higher than they should be, but again, the tests don't indicate that, so I'm hoping that everything is OK.
They have given me a copy with the ranges, etc. Prolactin is 102 - 496 (so mine is pretty low...which I take as a good thing?) And Oestradiol is 90 - 716 for the follicular phase.
Kiara - how long is ur LP normally?
