I've had my day 2 hormone tests back. (I'm 35) LH=5, FSH=5.4, but oestradiol=79pmol/L. The normal range appears to be 100-750, so I'm low, and apparently in the post-menopausal range. But I've seen other normal ranges like 37-185 and this suggests lower oestradiol is worse. So what is right?
Also, I am still bf (1yo dc, twice/24hours), which I thought was ok because:
- normal 27 day cycled returned at 6 weeks
- wee sticks detect an LH surge on day 15
- temperature rises from day 17/18
In fact my charts look almost identical to when I ttc dc1.
But is the oestradiol too low? And, if it is, is it a result of bf (in which case I must consider stopping) or likely to be unconnected (in which case I would rather let dc make the decision).
Thanks for any help!
