cd3 results

I am 44 years old, I have regular 25-day cycles with a positive OPK every month on cd10.  I decided to have my cd3 levels checked.  My fsh was 7.2, but my estradiol was 107.  I took femara cd3 - cd7 (2.5 mg/day), so I'm hoping that it is just a cyst causing the higher E2 levels.

I was diagnosed with PCOS 9 years ago.  I had a healthy daughter 8 years ago (FSH of 7.7, and E2 of 32 at that time).

Any thoughts?

Hi!
Taking Clomid or Femara on the previous cycle can affect the results in the current cycle, so it is possible that this is a false elevation of the estradiol level.  If you want more data on your ovarian reserve (chances for conception) Anti-mullerian hormone levels and antral follicle count ultrasounds are good tests.
Good luck!
