What Does My Blood Test Report Indicate?
Question: I have been to see fertility specialist. She suspects I have polycystic ovaries and hence do not ovulate. I have had vaginal swabs and an internal examination today. (Everything has come back normal). Ultrasound scan is also normal. Blood results are as follows: Estrogen 115, LH 1.7, FSH 5.6 (taken on Day 2 of cycle)
Ultrasound scan shows multiple follicles and endometrial thickness of 8.4mm. Is this normal? What should the range be?
I have no reports to upload.
Husband semen analysis is also good. With a 5% morphology which specialist says has to be above 4%
My bmi is 45 and she wants it down to 30 before commencing any type of treatment which she said will probably be tablets to make me ovulate. I have currently lost 8lb.
I am worried if I don't lose weight I will never get pregnant. Clearblue fertility monitor in the past has shown ovulation and some months no ovulation do you think I could keep try to use this. This month Clearblue fertility monitor showed 3 bars on day 11 and 12 of cycle. When should I have a progrestorone blood test to make sure I ovulated?
I usually have a regular bleeding pattern 24-28 day cycles. Never have pain or any kind of problem. But my bleeding cycle this year has been very erratic and I am worried sick why. Bleeding pattern this year has been:
JANUARY 2015
23rd January - 27th January (5 days bleeding)
Cycle 24th December – 22nd January = 30 days
FEBRUARY 2015
NO PERIOD
March 2015
4th March – 8th March (5days bleeding)
Cycle 23rd January – 3rd March = 41 days
April 2015
9th April – 13th April (5 days bleeding)
Cycle 4th March – 8th April = 37 days
MAY 2015
8th May – 12th May (5 days bleeding)
Cycle 9th April – 7th May = 29 days
1. Are my bloods normal?
2. Do you agree the fertility monitor is a good diagnosis for ovulating?
3. Do you see I can conceive naturally?
4. Any suggestions please to help me achieve what I really want.
5. Am I stressing out to much?
6. Why do you see such a change in my cycle? I don’t see Fertility Specialist for another 3 months as she wants to give me time to lose weight.
7. HSG was requested but I can’t have due to anaphylaxis to Iodine, is there any other way of telling if my tubes are blocked please?
If Clearblue fertility monitor shows 3 bars do I:
1. Ovulate
2. Release an egg
3. Should I conceive naturally
Another thing that confuses me is Fertility Monitor shows Ovulation, but Ovulation strips do not. I think I am getting myself into a Frenzy and should just use the Fertility Monitor and forget ovulation test strips. What are your thoughts please? Ovulation strips only ever show 1 line. Fertility monitor is working as it should and shows 1, 2, 3 bars (low, high and peak fertility)
If all tests are normal I wouldnt need IVF would I?

Hi,
USS report you have attached is absolutely normal with good number of eggs.
Nebothian cyst is a normal finding and hence dont worry about it.
Nipples are sore and erect because your body is better sensitive hormones as you have lost some weight. This is good development.
