I wonder if any of you would know why I would have 3 days in a row of high LH (luteinising hormomes)... my ovulation prediction test says that it will not work properly if I am pregnant.
I have not had any periods in 2 months - so no clue where I am in my "cycle" (i use to be very regular), I have had bloods taken and was told "all is fine", I did a pregnancy test earlier this week and it was negative.... but I could well be pregnant but can't detect it yet.

I read the web and the only thing I found for a continued raised level of LH is PCOS which I don't believe I suffer from....

Help ?????

Hi Velcrobott,

Heres what the normal hormone levels should be:
-----
What are normal hormone levels?

Hormone follicular mid cycle luteal
Estrogen 100-750 370-1500 370-770
FSH 2-12 12-90 2-12
LH 2-12 15+ 2-15
Progesterone 0.5-4.5 10-89
Testosterone 6-86

The ratio of LH:FSH in the follicular phase is usually close to 1:1, but if the LH is higher, it is a possible indication of PCOS.
---------
I found this on the net and then I went to the doctor to ask for the blood tests which were done in the past. I got only two as the rest were not sent to him by the hospital. and each test is for only the progestorone. I wish they chack everything at the same time and not treat us as fools.
hope it helps you.

I tired to space the data out so it looks like a table but I guess the BB did not take it.
So when you read it there are three phases: follicular; mid cycle and luteal. The ranges for each hormone are given in that order.

Well I have a feeling that I will have to wait to be referred to an Gyneacologist to get any more info.... grrrr....
Thanks though
