Hi there
Can someone please talk me through FSH levels? Not sure how they change over the cycle.

Been ttc for 10 months, have one LO who is 3.5yrs. Took 17 months to conceive first time then had a mc. Then got pg with our LB a few months later.
Had a very early mc/ CP 11 month ago.

I have had some bloods done.
21 day progesterone was 30, which they tell me is ok.

Unfortunately I have had the others done on CD 8 instead of the the recommended CD 5.

FSH 9.1
LH 5
Prolactin 78
Oestradiol 211

Thanks!

I believe the other bloods should be done on day 2/3, not day 5, of your cycle!

The level they look for for Ovulation is >30.

Yes, the FSH and LH and prolactin should be done on day 3 along with a full blood test too!
