Hi Doctor,Im 33, 164 height - weight 53. Im having problems with conciving and has been asked to have a FSH;LH;Oestradiol;Progesterone test on day 14 or 15 of cycle to check hormone level and ovulation. I did soem research it looks like Progesterone need to be done on day 21 and other test earlier as day 3. Is that right? Im a little bit cobfused.Thanks for your reply.
Hi It is little strange that you have been asked these hormone tests on day 14 or 15. It is true that LH and estradiol levels are followed in IVF treatment cycles to identify the exact time of ovulation and this may require a repeat test the following day. Baseline infertility work up does not require these tests to be done on day 14 or 15. If I were your doctor I would advise you to do FSH, LH and Prolactin between Day 2-4 of your menstrual cycle and Progesterone on Day 21 of your menstrual cycle provided your cycle duration is 28 days. You also need to do Fallopian tube patency test and Your husband needs to take semen analysis test. I hope I have answered your queries.
