Hi there.
My doctor did some blood tests on me last week and said at the same time she would test my hormone levels.
Just got them back and here's what they tested for and what they say:
FSH test = To evaluate the function of your pituitary gland, which regulates the hormones that control your reproductive system CAME BACK 'NORMAL'
LH = LH blood test measures the amount of luteinizing hormone, LH is a protein hormone released by the anterior pituitary gland. In women, an increase in LH levels at mid-cycle causes ovulation. Came back NORMAL
prolactin & progesterone = To do with stress and fertility - Came back Normal
So - my questions are... for those of you who have also had these tests... can you explain a little more. Perhaps if yours came back abnormal, what did that mean for you and your fertility and what other investigations did you have to have?
Also - if all these things come back as normal and you still had no success getting pregnant what was the next step?
