IVF CD 3 bloodwork

JilliansMoma · July 2010

OK so we are proceeding with IVF. Everything just seemed to fall into place for us and now that we actually pulled the trigger I'm getting really excited. Since I am so new to this does anyone have any good websites that they used for research? Every time I try and Google it just takes me to different clinic websites. Here are the results of my CD 3 blood work. The Dr didn't seem concerned so I hope they are good numbers. He said I have about 12 follies on each side right now and was happy with that.

Prolactin=9;Estradiol=40; LH=7.4; FSH=5.5

Does anyone have feedback? Tips? Good websites?

TIA

If you go to www.fertilityplus.org then at the top they have tabs and one is common fertility tests or something like that - they have all the values. I don't know all the #s but your FSH looks good!

Sending you all kinds of bump power this is your cycle

Not sure about the other numbers, but my RE likes to see the E2 level below 100 for CD 3, so yours looks good and 12 follies on each side is excellent to start with. What meds are you on? GOOD LUCK!!!!

My RE never told me bloodwork numbers. they only told patients those if something was outta whack. I wouldn't get too bogged down worrying about the numbers because you're going to have a lot of bloodtests with an IVF since it's very closely monitored. the main thing to focus on is getting a good number of quality follicles that mature so they can attempt to fertilize them.

best of luck. it's a very draining and invasive process, so try to relax as best you can.

Great advise kinsale there is definitely a lot to learn and "stress" about but right now I am more excited than I thought I would be and I hope that continues to relax me through this process.
