Hormone level update - opinions?

Well I got back my day 3 test.
FSH - 8.1
E2 - 34
LH - 3.7
From what I read these are pretty good for an almost 45 year old woman.
I am trying to get my AMH levels now.
I added DHEA to my supplement diet to help.  Anyone else have success yet with this?

In my city it is sold over the counter at any  health food store or pharmacy/drug store.
It helps woman who are perimenopausal in many ways, but for fertility it is suppose to help the quality and quantity of the ovarian reserve.
There is  a lot of info on the web.  If I were you I would discuss it with your Obgyn and do some research before you decide if its the right supplement for you.
Good luck!

Lisa, what exactly is DHEA supposed to do?  I know it's sold "under the counter" at many health stores in my city and I've heard it being used as an "anti-aging" supplement because our natural levels deplete as we get older.

Where did you buy it and how and why did you decide to start taking it?  Thanks in advance, Miranda.

Do you mind if I ask before your took your day 3 test was your FSH level high initially?  I'm 38 and my initial bloodwork showed an FSH level of  26.1 which oddly my doctor called normal but too high to conceive.  If it's too high to conceive then I don't understand how that could be called normal.  If I will ever start a period, I have to come back on the 3rd day for the test you are talking about.  Congratulations on your test results!  Best wishes to you!

I am 35 and my fsh was 9.6!  Doing better than me!  Some dr.s disregard the amh saying it is inconclusive.  My amh was barely detectable - not good news for me.  Let me know what happens next...
