Re: All test results came back normal :(From: paula (anonymous@obgyn.net)Fri, 18 May 2001 23:46:50 -0500 (CDT)
your LH is 8.3, a normal LH is <7 (drawn on day 3 of your cycle). an LH higher than 7 is indicative of PCOS. your progesterone is 52 ng/dL, A level over 5 probably indicates some form of ovulation, but most doctors want to see a level over 10 on a natural cycle, and a level over 15 on a medicated cycle. your T4 is 9.7 mcg/dL it is supposed to be .8 - 2 ng/dL....there are 1000 nanograms (ng) to 1 microgram (mcg)...i dont know what this means other than it SEEMS high, but i dont know a lot about thyroid levels, so while this is my interpretation, it is not neceaarily correct. the recommended levels that i stated above also apply to day 3 of your cycle. A low level may indicate a diseased thyroid gland or may indicate a non- functioning pituitary gland which is not stimulating the thyroid to produce T4. If the T4 is low and the TSH is normal, that is more likely to indicate a problem with the pituitary. your estradiol is 28 pg/mL. according to the chart i am looking at, that is normal for day 3 of your cycle (normal range 25-75 pg/mL). your fasting insulin is borderline high. it is 10, should really be under 6...but doctors dont usually call 10 high, i would call it enough to make you insulin resistant. and since you are on an insulin lowering diet, its not shocking that it is within normal parimaters. hope this helps =) love, paula
