Meaning of Lab Results?

Happy Friday Ladies!

I had my first RE appt on Wednesday with BW and u/s. Since my OB already started me on Clomid #3 day 5-9 (long story for another time) and Wednesday was CD10 we decided that the best course of action was to monitor me this cycle then do diagnostic tests next cycle, but my fingers are crossed that we are successful this cycle and don't need the tests. FX.  Anyway, (sorry I'm going off on a tangent). I went into my patient portal and have my BW and u/s results, but I don't know what they exactly mean/show. I have another appt on Monday for BW and u/s but I can't wait until then especially with this particular weekend upon us(don't want to go into it just yet).

Does anyone have a link or chart or something that gives ranges of numbers? I'm a math teacher and very much a numbers girl.

Thank you for your help. Even though I have just joined this board, you've welcomed me with open arms and for that I am really appreciative of that, especially considering I feel very alone (IRL) right now in my infertility issues. 

Muah! :-)

    I just googled "normal levels TSH" etc. and got some charts from that. If you are having monitoring done do you mean follicle size? Did the nurse/RE say anything while they did the ultrasound? Mine usually talks to me and says how big things are. If you want more specific advice I'd need more info but would be happy to help!
