Cycle Day 3 hormone results - help?!?

Hi - any help will  be appreciated!
I have had numerous tests over the years and just trying to piece it all together...

In 2006, my prolactin was 10.1 and has never been tested again until now.

In May, 2008, my CD3 tests were
FSH - 5.1
TSH 2.23
Estradiol 32

Today, I got my CD3 results from yesterday...

FSH 5.9
Prolactin 16.9
TSH .68 (I'm on Armour Thyroid to keep this low)
Estradiol 23

The doctors' office called and said 'everything is in the normal range'! I know that those ranges are varied and wide and was wondering what you all thought (the ones with the actual experience/knowledge)

Thanks!

Oh and when it comes to estradiol it's actually good that it is low on day 3. This is what fertility plus says:

"Levels on the lower end tend to be better for stimulating. Abnormally high levels on day 3 may indicate existence of a functional cyst or diminished ovarian reserve."

I agree with miky! Your numbers look great! Your estradiol is perfect for day 3 (normal is 25-75), and your prolactin is normal too (should be less than 24).

Really? I have been upset all afternoon - isn't my estradiol too low? my prolactin too high?

I'm going back to the RE....I have a consult on March 5th.
