Hey there,

i got the results of my day 21 bloods and just wondered what you all think, the doc said they were ok but wants me to do another day 21 and day 3 set

fsh 3.9 IU/L
LH 7.1 IU/L
Prolactin 279miu/l
Progestrone 34.9 nmol/l
oestradiol 563pmol/l
tsh 1.655 miu/l

am really really unsure of these results hopefully one of you can give me some feed back

I am not knowledgeable on all of the results but that progesterone level is nice and high! It certainly indicated ovulation and I see most people happy with a 10 or 15. Your 35 looks really good! Maybe pregnant?

Yeah, the progesterone looks great, but honestly having bloodwork on CD21 doesn't mean that much IMO. Lots of doctors do it that day because it's supposed to be 7 DPO. Unless you routinely O on CD14, then it isn't as accurate as it should be.

I used to post over here all the time and just wanted to jump in. I agree your progesterone looks good...but as usual I agree with Val CD21 doesnt always mean a whole lot. Do you O regularly?

Also your LH and FSH look good too (under 10 is good according to my RE).

Just curious do you know when you Od or were you on any medications? Your Estradiol level just had me curious. Not in a bad way though!

Just be careful in interpreting the prog number - I see yours was reported using the nmol units, which is different from what most women on this site are used to (the ones who live in the US). The 34.9 result is actually not good, but the 60.4 is!

Gynaecological Endocrinology

Scale in nmol:

<35: poor luteal function: ovulation unlikely

35-70: optimal luteal function indicating ovulation likely

>70: may indicate suboptimal luteal function unless there is multiple ovulation due to either spontaneous occurrence or due to induction by clomiphene
