As to the levels I do not know a good website but I know my RE would write down my numbers and tell me good/bad/normal. Perhaps if you call them they can tell you what the numbers mean. I too do not get AF unless induced. When I went in for my hysteroscopy I knew what day of the cycle I was on (or rather the last day since my chemical pregnancy/period as that seems to be the only time I get my period). They did a biopsy and saw that my cells were not in the second stage of my cycle as they should be according to the day. For my RE that solidified that indeed my body was not doing what it should.
I wish you a ton of luck and hopefully this is not a year of despair but instead one of hope and celebration!

Ugh, Jemma, I hear you about 35...I'll be 36 in August. I never in my wildest dreams thought I would not have a child by now! Stupid infertility!!
I'm not sure about your numbers, but I think it definitely matters what cycle day you are on. Also, I have heard thyroid problems can reek havoc on fertility. I have thyroid antibodies which has been proven to be related with miscarriage. So they put me on low dose thyroid even though my thyroid numbers aren't low. I would definitely look into it. And what the heck is "doubling of the uterus"?!?!
I also know that my RE has to code things a certain way to get paid by my insurance as they cover diagnosis but not treatment of infertility, so maybe your doc had to get creative to get them to pay...
