What are normal values for the blood tests?
Note: Values are laboratory dependant, so while this list is provided as general information, one needs to ask her own doctor to explain the results based on individual lab standards. This is provided for discussion purposes only, not for self-diagnosis. Please note the units of measure as these also vary from lab to lab. Hormone Levels Hormone to test Time to Test Normal Values What value means Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) Day 3 3-20 mIU/ml FSH is often used as a gauge of ovarian reserve. In general, under 6 is excellent, 6-9 is good, 9-10 fair, 10-13 diminished reserve, 13+ very hard to stimulate. In PCOS testing, the LH:FSH ratio may be used in the diagnosis. The ratio is usually close to 1:1, but if the LH is higher, it is one possible indication of PCOS. Estradiol (E2) Day 3 25-75 pg/ml Levels on the lower end tend to be better for stimulating. Abnormally high levels on day 3 may indicate existence of a functional cyst or diminished ovarian reserve. Estradiol (E2) Surge/hCG
