pregnancy weight loss smoothies
Ok so I got a call from the RE I saw the other day at 9am this morning, A SATURDAY. He called to tell me that my test results came back and he wanted to let me know what they were. I had just walked in to the grocery store when he called so I had nowhere to even sit down. He then proceeded to read off my test results and my mind was officially blown...
Labwork- April 19
FSH: 12.4
LH: 8
E2: 149
Initial Labwork- Jan 20
FSH: 133
LH: 75
E2: <20
I was absolutely shaking in the store. He told me not to get too excited because it could be a fluke and to definitely get retested next month. However, he did say according to my numbers it looks like my body made a follicle this month and that we would have been able to see had we done an ultrasound. That is really irking me because he didnt bother doing an ultrasound the other day!! So I dont know what to make of any of this. I didnt expect it AT ALL. I was in such shock that I totally forgot to ask what my AMH was!! (I know that is one number that most likley wont change, but I still want to see. I just didnt even think of it until the second I hung up. I tried calling back immediately, but got voicemail. Ill probably have to wait until after the weekend now. But at least I got the other numbers! I raced home and on my way I called my mom with the news. She instantly started crying. (happy tears) But I told her what the Dr. told me... dont get too excited just yet. When I called my pop he got all choked up, too. I got home and told the hubs. He picked me up and hugged me tight. We both talked about how crazy it seems and he started to worry that maybe the Dr. read the wrong file, which got me wondering the same thing! He did bring up a good point that I didnt even think of... with my numbers being in the "normal" range, if I dont get my period this time would the Dr. now be able to give me the progesterone pills that induces a period? Definitely something I have to look into...
So of course I started looking up the test ranges and what they mean to try to piece things together myself for the time being. A few key things I found regarding my most recent numbers:
FSH- often used as a gauge of ovarian reserve. In general, under 6 is excellent, 6-9 is good, 9-10 fair, 10-13 diminished reserve, 13+ very hard to stimulate.
Estradiol (E2)- normal range 25-75pg/ml- Estradiol suppresses FSH. If your FSH levels are normal but your estradiol levels are high, this indicates that the estradiol is artificially suppressing FSH levels. High levels of estradiol indicate that you might have a problem with your ovarian reserve. Either of these things could mean that you will have more trouble getting pregnant, more trouble ovulating (even with treatment) and reduced success with IVF.
small;">Estrogen-replacement therapy might be used in combination with clomiphene (Clomid) to help improve cervical mucus or uterine lining to make the body more hospitable to pregnancy. IVF treatment with lupron flare protocol or assisted hatching to try to compensate for poor quality and/or quantity of ovarian reserve. Because high estradiol levels indicate poor ovarian reserve and poor response to fertility medications, you and your fertility doctor may ultimately need to discuss whether IVF with your own eggs is a viable option for you and your partner.
So even though I didnt get my AMH back yet, both the FSH and E2 still confirm the status of my diminished ovarian reserve issue hasnt changed. (which I know it cant anyway).
BUT on the bright side, my hormone levels are a hell of a lot better than they were 3 months ago! In January my FSH was POST-Menopausal and my E2 was nonexistent. Now my body is clearly producing estrogen again! I call that a win, even if they arent the best stats ever. And I DO believe it has everything to do with all the alternative therapies I am doing.
LH- Follicular Phase: 1.68–15 IU/L
This must be why the Dr. said he thinks I produced a follicle this month since my LH was an 8. So at least thats gotta be good news! Especially since it was 75 before and "High LH levels and high FSH levels are consistent with primary ovarian failure (ovaries themselves fail to work)."
Also, I had been worried about taking the DHEA lately because all last week I was breaking out on my face and back. My TCM said it was either my hormone levels rising or the DHEA causing me to produce too much testosterone. Well I got my DHEA levels checked and it was 9, very low, which means it WAS my hormone levels coming back that caused the breakouts! (I never thought Id be happy about zits! LOL) The RE said I could continue taking the DHEA since my levels were low, so I will keep on doing my 75mg per day.
My plan of action now is to find a different place in town to go to (yet again) and bring my two sets of numbers with me. Reason being, while this second Dr. was nice, it wasnt a very high-end facility and I just dont like that he didnt give me a full work up. So I am on the hunt again for a bigger facility and a Dr. who will treat me as if I am a new patient and give me a full workup and hopefully now Ill actually have some kind of treatment option. I may be jumping the gun, but its definitely worth a shot!
