Default confused with my levels...any help appreciated.

my RE had me get b/w done. Never explaining what it was for. Anyway I have a copy and here they are...

Estradiol, Serum (what is that???) = 130
Ref Ranges Prepubertal: 4-12
Follicular: 5-160
Mid-Cycle: 34-400
Luteal: 27-246
Post Menopausal: 5-30
Treated Post Meno: 5-93
My confusion comes when I go to read MY b/w. It's 130. but 130 falls in Follicular, Mid-Cycle and Luteal so what does it mean???

Progesterone = 4.2
Ref Ranges
Follicular: 0.0-1.1
Midfollicular: 0.0-1.0
Midcycle: 0.5-1.7
Luteal phase: 1.0-21
midluteal: 6.0-24
Post-meno: 0.0-1.0
Oral Contra: 0.3-0.9
Pregnancy: 1st Tri: 9-33
2nd Tri: 30-50
3rd Tri: 83-160
Obviously I was in Luteal phase. That one was self explanatory.

TSH was 4.42. I have another script for b/w and I go back on the 9th to go over it with the regular endocrinologist and to get a script for synthroid.

Prolactin = 11.7
Ref Ranges:
Non-Pregnant: 5-37
1st Trimester: 7-31
2nd Trimester: 31-182
3rd Trimester: 84-232
1 Day Post-Partum: 20-319

Am I pregnant or not? lol

FSH/LH Profile
FSH = 2.4

Ref Ranges
:
Folli: 3-11
MidCycle Peak: 6-21
Luteal: 1-9
Post Meno: 22-153
LH = 4.0

Ref Ranges:
Folli: 1-12
MidCycle Peak: 17-27
Post Meno: 11-40
I'm so confused. I have all these levels and have no clue what they really mean. Any help anyone can advise would be soooo appreciated.

There are a few gals that know a lot about thyroid stuff but they don't get on as much during the week. I don't understand much of those test except that your progesterone indicates ovulation has occurred. Are you ttc? You may be in your 2ww.

I can answer questions about thyroid levels, however, I don't know what the question regarding that is. Looks like your doctor wrote you a script and the only thing I can add is that you really shouldn't ttc until your TSH level is under 2. Taking Synthroid daily 1 hour before a meal should bring it down in a month or two. I assume your Rx is for 25mcg? I believe anything higher will send you hyper, but it depends on your size.

I'll gladly answer questions regarding your thyroid; just let me know.

Btw, when you go over your b/w on the 9th, ask about thyroid antibodies...you'll want to find out if you have them which would indicate Hashimoto's and possibly rule out pituitary gland issue or cancer (i.e., if you *have* to be hypo, you want it to be because of Hashimoto's and not something else since Hashi's is the most easily treatable---no surgery or anything. Just a little pill daily).

Also, your endo may want an u/s of your thyroid, which is pretty much standard practice (and gives you a baseline to use for the future).

I think your question is how to read the paperwork? The reff ranges are showing what the ranges are in differnt times of your cycle like in the first one
Prepubertal: 4-12 teenager
Follicular: 5-160 when your ovulating
Mid-Cycle: 34-400 before ovulation
Luteal: 27-246 after ovulating
Post Menopausal: 5-30 after going throuh menpause
Treated Post Meno: 5-93 self explanitory
Do you know what day on your cycle you where? Most of the test result are going to go by. The test for your tsh are high and your prolactin levels are normal. Hope this helps

Most likely you would have ovulated so you would have been in the luteal phase so it looks like serum, progesterone is normal. Your lh and fsh ratio is 2to1 which indicates POCS. Did you doc do any bloodwork for your insulin or cholesteral? if not speak with your endo about it.
