The clinic here claims it doesn't matter what CD blood is drawn but I disagree and plan to get my E2, LH, and FSH redone on CD3 along with a AFC if possible.
Background: I just turned 34, always conceived very easily with prior partners (my latest hasnt had a SA yet), I've been charting since I was 20 and while I O every month, my O moves around a fair bit. On average I O a bit late, around CD18 and have a short 9-10 day LP. 6 weeks ago I stopped swaying after over a year of hardcore pink swaying.
The starred results above are those outside of normal range (everything else being normal, or even great for my age in the case of my AMH). The abnormal results are undetectable testosterone (too low), elevated SHBG, low DHEA and low cortisol. I'm assuming/hoping my FSH & LH levels are higher than expected bc I was on CD8 - they seem high in respect to my other numbers. I don't understand what the p- & p+ after some numbers mean, anyone know?
I'd appreciate any thoughts or suggestions. I'm on a sway break until September, taking a good prenatal, fish oil (I eat no seafood), extra vitamin D and eating a healthy, nutritious diet including plenty of good fats and red meat. Should I add DHEA and if so how much? Any other recommended supps? I'm still potentially considering IVF except I'm really against ICSI and apparently no dr will allow natural fertilization if I want PGD testing done on the embryos. If I did do IVF I'd probably go to SIRM in NY.
