Those results for CD 2 provide a "baseline" for the hormones during your cycle, so you can compare the changes that go on as your cycle progresses.

Estradiol <150 is normal during menstruation, and rises slowly during the cycle before rising sharply at ovulation, then dropping slightly again afterwards until it falls away to nothing again for the next AF.

FSH - follicle stimulating hormone - this baseline gives the indication that you're not likely to ovulate soon (funny that, CD2 and all!). It gives the clinician a lower value so they can make sure your levels rise pre-ovulation, and also to rule out premature menopause in some patients.

TSH - Thyroid Stimulating Hormone - measures how well your thyroid is working. Normal is 0.4-4.0 (off the top of my head) so yours is perfect.

Hope that helps ]]> Wed, 03 Sep 2008 18:24:32 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=20371&PID=482377&title=help-with-test-results-please#482377 <![CDATA[help with test results please : I&#039;ve just got my CD2 blood...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=20371&PID=474806&title=help-with-test-results-please#474806 Author: Two Blondinis

I've just got my CD2 blood test back. My GP is away the rest of the week and the nurse isn't exactly helpful!

Does anyone know what these mean?
This was a 27 day cycle and I O'd on CD17.

TSH 1.8
FSH 3.8
Estradiol <150
