Question about hormone levelsFrom: Angie (anonymous@obgyn.net)Wed, 1 Nov 2000 01:40:27 -0600 (CST)
I have several symptoms of both Endometriosis and PCOS, though have not yet been diagnosed with either (my first OB/GYN visit was just 4 weeks ago, and anyway I've no interest in lap surgery to diagnose endo, unless it becomes unbearable). I'm trying to get pregnant, so had some blood tests the week before last to determine hormone levels. This was day 24 of what turned out to be a 35 day cycle. We're going to do more blood tests in a few weeks' time, on day 29, assuming another 35 day cycle, to see if the levels are any better. My question is does the LH to FSH ratio signify problems if taken at this time in the cycle, as it does if meeasured around day 3. I know the main issue is my low progesterone levels at the time of the cycle we're testing at, but I'm wondering if my results are indicative of PCOS? The blood test results are: LH-26.5; FSH-5.2; Progesterone-2.2; prolactin-17.5; TSH-1.41. And secondly, am I wise to continue down the 'can I get pregnant?' route, or should I also do a full PCOS checkup at day 3 to try to put a 'name' to my problem?
-- Thanks for your advice, Angie
