Q: i had my blood work done and my estradiol level was < 5 pg/ml and my progesterone was 1.22 ng/ml. what does this mean?

Anovulation: Unfortunately, it seems from this limited information, that you may not be ovulating due to the very low progesterone level and especially your estradiol level. You will need to have a very serious conversation with your doctor or ob/gyn about pursuing an aggressive follow up of tests to find out why your ovaries are not working correctly. I wish you all the best.

Question 1

how are you supposed to work out the progesterone and estradiol ratio to know if your thyroid results are normal?

Accepted Answer

You do not have to: While the ratio of Progesterone and Estradiol will affect how you feel, it will not substantially affect the thyroid tests. However, oral Estradiol will increase thyroxine binding globulin and thus increase the T4 level but the free T4 will remain stable. Because it will also increase the risk of blood clots it is advisable to use a transdermal, buccal or sublingual form of estrogen replacement.

Question 2

are my hormone levels ok? lh serum-9.7; fsh-7.1; estradiol-991; progesterone-1.9. all done on 12 day of cycle. thyroid is hyper 3-4 months every year

Accepted Answer

Depends: The doctor that ordered these tests had a plan in mind with what to do with the information they provide as they were ordered based on your history and symptoms that you discussed with your doctor. You should schedule an appointment to sit down with your provider to go over the results and how they affect your health issues.

Question 3

estradiol is .6 pg/ml and progesterone is 18 pg/ml with a ratio of 30 l while taking yasmin birth control.  are these normal ranges?

Accepted Answer

The levels are: Not clear.  Make sure you are not skipping any pills.  An elevated progesterone level (over 3) indicates ovulation occurred.

Question 4

infertility, blood test on cd 21. did i ovulate? can you interpret my results? fsh 5.7 u/l  lh 14.3 u/l estradiol 487pmol/l progesterone 61 nmol/l

Accepted Answer

Ovulated: Based on your progesterone level, you ovulated.

Question 5

what is normal range for lh,fsh,progesterone,and estradiol levels when taken on day 3 of period?

Accepted Answer

Depends on lab: Different laboratories can have reference values for LH, FSH, progesterone, and estradiol that differ from each other.  Moreover, the nature of the test can have an impact on those reference values. The lab at which the tests were run will need to be approached for the type of test that was used and the reference values for that specific lab.

Question 6

what are normal estradiol and progesterone levels after embryo transfer?

Accepted Answer

Questionable: Most don't assess these values following an embryo transfer

the type of Progesterone may also affect these levels

in general...For those taking im progesterone...Levels are greater than 30-50 (but this measures all types of progesterones that are not important

vaginal forms give levels that are &gt;15 and are the pure and the most important ones.

Question 7

i'm 46 years old.  i recently had my hormones tested.  can you tell me what the results mean?  estradiol 159.2, fsh 4.4, lh 2.1, progesterone 0.4

Accepted Answer

Normal: It means you are not in menopause.  Also, it can be dependent on where you are in your cycle.

Question 8

where is information on normal levels of progesterone, estradiol, estriol, testosterone & dhea?

Accepted Answer

With the lab: Normal ranges are created by the labs doing the tests. The methods used to test hormones can be different and so can the average ranges. The ranges are frequently based on the labs employees donating blood for analysis!

Question 9

on day 3 of period labs fsh 5.0 miu/ml, lh 5.65 miu/ml, progesterone 0.59pg/ml, estradiol (e2) 23.1 pg/ml. what do these mean? normal?

Accepted Answer

Ovarian reserve.: The FSH drawn on the third day is used as an indicator of ovarian reserve. As an isolated measure, your value is right at the borderline of what we would consider normal ovarian reserve.

Question 10

i had my blood work done and my estradiol level was < 5 pg/ml and my progesterone was 1.22 ng/ml. what does this mean?

Accepted Answer

Anovulation: Unfortunately, it seems from this limited information, that you may not be ovulating due to the very low progesterone level and especially your estradiol level. You will need to have a very serious conversation with your doctor or ob/gyn about pursuing an aggressive follow up of tests to find out why your ovaries are not working correctly.
