Question on hormone levels...

tlink34 · 10-29-2009, 05:01 AM

My periods have gone wonky since about August...non-stop bleeding that we tried to control with Birth Control pills and provera...it worked but only slightly. Then a new cycle that was only 18 days long, no ovulation. I finally got fed up and insisted on an entire hormone panel. I have partial results and would love some input.

Background: I am 43, had my last child in January 2007. In August my periods started coming every 2 weeks for no apparent reason.

FSH .89 (this freaked me out because I totally expected it to be over 15 since we have not been able to get pregnant for over 2 years now)

Estradiol - pending - I know high estrogen can make FSH really low or mask it but I have no symptoms of high estrogen at all. Will have to wait for the results I guess.

TSH: .96, last year it was 1.76, Still waiting on t3 and t4 levels

Iron - very normal healthy level

DHEA
LH
Prolactin
ALL Still pending.

If I were you I would wait until all of the results are in and go over them with your Dr.
GOOD LUCK
