FHS levels what is good/bad?

[LJ307]

Hi ladies.   Well, my results are in and I'm rather sad. Maybe you can confirm or elleviate my fears.  My cd 3 FSH test came back at 16.   Estradiol cd 3 is 60.   The clinic is closed and I don't know what these levels mean.  I had a phone message from the clinic but got it too late to talk with anyone.  Anyone familiar with FSH and/or Estradiol levels?

PS: My RE referral is in progress...it's coming...

Thank you, that was a great website.  I'm still unsure what all this means.  I called my dr. today and his office said that I just had to wait until my cd 10 to do the test again and then they would compare the results.  I'm starting to think this month isn't going to be a cycle I can do an IUI. I may decide to wait until my referral comes through.  I'm told I just have to wait for the clinic to call me for an appt. and it could take two weeks.  Yikes!

Thanks Tina.  It does help to know Clomid elevates FSH levels.

Clomid does elevate FSH levels. It helps to indicate the ovarian reserve. It can vary from month to month as well. The E2 level is well within normal, FSH is a little high, but can come down, too. At our age, it is expected, but not a death sentence :)

By the way,  I had just completed my 2nd Clomid cycle of 100mg.  Does this also affect the result?
