I've got a long list of results from my CD3 blood tests.

Dianne,
Just FYI. My fsh was 3.3. I thought I had tons of time. Re did an amh level test. That one was .1 ( really low). During my ivf,
I had zero follicles. So that test , for me, was the most important.
Ask for an amh level test.
Hope this helps. Don't want to freak you out!!! But do want to share my knowledge so you have power in your battle Ttc

Your #'s ARE good--please don't freak out and yes, get to a good RE ASAP so you can rest easier and have someone knowledgeable to talk to.
START THAT THREAD! I totally would contribute. I know TTC can really strain a relationship--even when you both want it--and I think it would add a lot to this board. :)
Thanks ladies! I'm still freaking out only because I don't yet have proper medical care and a knowledgeable Dr to decipher my numbers for me accurately and in detail.
All this is beginning to cause some tension on the home front too. DH is getting exhausted by my obsession with all things fertility, and my being upset so often by every little subtley of my cycle or test numbers, and he really snapped at me tonight out of nowhere. :(
Has TTC caused probs in your R? I am thinking of starting a thread on this because I don't want this to snowball, but fear it will, as I don't see my need to have a baby diminishing. :(

Dianne,
I'm not seeing an RE yet, and if it makes you feel better my obgyn only ordered FSH and estradiol also (if I read the lab order correctly). I don't know my scores yet (I still haven't called).
I guess I am feeling like I already have the Clomid in hand and only have one pill left on this cycle to take, so it's not like the scores will affect my protocol this cycle anyway. It is what it is.
But take heart - that FSH score is good!

I thought the estradiol was high too based off my googling but the Dr said it was normal. It wasn't my Dr and she was quick on the phone with me. I am totally annoyed right now.
It was jsut the OB/GYN that ordered the test and apparently she only ordered those 3 numbers. WTF again!

In our fertility center we currently use an assay made by DPC that is run on an Immulite machine. We consider normal FSH level to be anything less than 9. As levels go above 9 we often see a reduction in response to ovarian stimulating drugs - as described in the table below.
If your FSH levels were run using a different assay, you can not compare your results to those shown below with confidence. For example, with some assays an FSH of 12 is normal.
Day 3 FSH level
FSH interpretation for DPC Immulite assay
Less than 9
Normal FSH level. Expect a good response to ovarian stimulation.
9 - 11
Fair.
