Finally got a call back from AART with my blood work results. The lab techs there seem to talk to you like you are also a lab tech so now I have to break down what they told me and that’s where I’m leaving it in your capable hands to help me break it down before I go all Dr. Google, Medicine Woman on it.
Blood work for last cycle. January 3rd, 22nd and 24th.
FSH level is 11.
Thyroid was still showing as high. This was the only thing I was told on the initial phone call just prior to my CD21. They upped my thyroid medication at that point with a plan to retest my thyroid levels in 6 weeks.
There was no sign of progesterone in my system during CD21 to CD23 so I didn’t ovulate at that time.
Despite that, I still started my period on time. 4 day normal period for my cycles.
Anybody wanna weigh in on this and break it down for me?
If You Don't Stand For Something 
Well here is what I know about FSH levels. (from personal research and university classes and my dad the GP)
Normal is a result of 9 or below, but there are things that can affect your result:
– PCOS
– Medications (progesterone, estrogen, testosterone, digitalis, clomid)
– Bone scans or Thyroid scans
You should also get your AMH levels tested – because that actually shows your ovarian reserve.
Your thyroid and PCOS are two common causes for not ovulating. Yes, you can still get regular periods without ovulation.
What I am getting out of all of this is that you need to get your thyroid under control. Then maybe look at whether or not you might have PCOS.
I hope that makes sense.
Anyone else what to give their two cents?
Thanks Ren! This does help keep the panic at bay. I figure that they will want to test my AMH levels and will either order it on my next round of testing or send out the order after the 6 weeks/rechecking of my thyroid or after my HSG.
I think Ren covered it. Definitely get the thyroid taken care of first, then see how the rest of it goes. Have you ever used OPKs to confirm ovulation?
