QuestionOkay i had a bunch of labs done on me on the 21st day. Everyone keeps telling me that the OB was suppose to do my FSH and LH on the 3rd day. So I would like to know if she had me to do them on the wrong day? But anyways these was my results:
TESTOSTER--49.25---normal---6-82
TSH SENSI---1.77---normal---0.27-5.00
Prolactin---12.33---normal---3.4-24.1
Estradiol---123.3---normal---?
FSH---------6.6-----normal----?
Luteinizi---17.5----normal-----?
DHEA SO4----149.1----normal----98-315
Progester----5.30----normal----.03-60
It also said on my labs that my CREAT was low, CO2 was low, and my RDW was low.
Thank You very much for taking the time to help me out...!!
AnswerHello Shana,
In order to interpret the FSH, LH and Estradiol properly, it needs to be drawn on the cycle day #2 or 3 (cycle day #1 is the day your period starts). The only other test that is time specific is the progesterone which needs to be done on cycle day #20,21 or 22. The rest of the tests can be done at anytime.
The Testosterone, TSH, Prolactin and DHEAS are all normal. The progesterone is low for cycle day #21. It should be over 10, which is an indication of ovulation. The level you have shows that you probably did not ovulate in this cycle. Do you have irregular menstrual cycles?
Good Luck,
