Ok...so since I'm new to this, and apparently the weekend staff at the RE clinic is nowhere near as helpful as the weekday staff, I have no idea if my results are good, bad, or indifferent! So...I'm hoping one of my faithful readers can help de-mystify the results for me!
My Day 3 labs showed:
FSH: 7.23
LH: 11.3
Estrogen: 89.6 (thinking estrogen may be slightly elevated due to the fact that I took an "active" BCP on Thursday night and AF started on Friday. I had only taken 14 of the 24 "active" BCP's when AF arrived unexpectedly. Wondering if I have excess estrogen in my system leftover from the BCP's.)
Ultrasound showed:
Stripe: 4
Ovaries: Hurried, slightly rude doctor dude said "5, less than 15 - on both sides"
I'm guessing everything must have been normal, because they're letting me start 5 days of 100 mg Clomid, but I have no clue if these numbers are positive or just average or what!
Any help from Blogland would be appreciated!! Hope everyone is having a fantastic weekend!! :)

Ok I dont know much about the FSH, LH, and Estrogen numbers..they never gave me those, but the stripe and 5 under 15 seem pretty normal. Stripe is the lining of the uterus and the number goes up during the cycle as it thickens I think. 5 less than 15 means that you have 5 follicles less 15 (size). They usually want you to trigger when they are about 18-20. The number of follicles will change and usually get smaller because all of them wont mature. Hope this helps a little bit :) Have fun with the clomid!
Wow I have no idea what ANY of that means but I know I'll be going through this process someday.. so I'll gladly learn with you, lol.
Lovin' your blog :D
