Thank you for your response!
To answer your questions, I am not using any type of hormonal contraception. I was having my hormone levels checked because my
hair has progressively gotten thinner especially at the sides/temples.
My estrodial was 136pg/ml normal range on lab (48-440) Luteal Phase
My testosterone was 43ng -normal range on lab (2-45) Luteal Phase
LH 20.2 -normal range being (.5-16.9) Luteal Phase
FSH 12.1 -normal range being (1.5-9.1) Luteal Phase
If as you suggested that I may be ovulating later than day 14 then this all makes sense, the results aren't that far off or are in the normal ranges during the follicular phase.
Expect for my LH & FSH are still way too high!
My doctor said they were normal, but did not know that I went in for the blood draw on day 16! But she never went over the results with me.
So when I told her this she said I should see an endocrinologist, however, I am having a hard time trying to find one that will actually see me because must of them specialize in thyroid and diabetes and will not see me unless I have those issues!!!
