    Confused Is my Day 3 bloodwork normal?

    Hey Ladies. I am 27. I am ttcing for baby#2 currently (have been ttcing for 1 month so far). I have a 9 month old son right now. I have been charting and I do ovulate every month but never of on the same day...so a little bit of irregular ovulation...anywhere between CD20-CD28 is when I O. ANyways...I went to the docand she offered to run some day 3 bloodwork for me just to check things out. My results were as follows....

    FSH: 9.3
    ESTRADIOL: 31.6 pg/ml
    LH: 8

    I googled and found that anything less than 10 is considered normal for FSH. However I am really close to 10 so should I be worried?! Also it seems like my estrogen is really low. The internet says normal range is 25-75pg/ml but it also says women with less than 32pg/ml can be considered "pre-menopausal". I am FREAKING out! Also I only ever get wet or creamy cm....never EWCM. I use to get EWCM in highschool but ever since I had my son...I don't get it anymore! Do you think that the reason I don't get EWCM is due to my low estrogen? Or is this estrogen level not considered really that low? Maybe there is another reason I don't get EWCM? Any thoughts or advice would be much appreciated!!!!

    They are all normal. Your FSH is higher than average for someone your age but it is not outrageous. It does vary though.

    Hi I had mine done on Day 5 and mine was 8 I didn't get an estrogen result. I'm 38 next month. your FSH is quite high for your age but as sais it can vary from month to month. We've been trying to conceive for 8 mths now and we've always never had to try b4 :-(.

    Estrogen rises through ovulation. It will reach around 200-600 per mature egg. As it rises, CM increases. It's supposed to be that low on day 3. If it were high already, that would be a negative indicator. You haven't even been TTC so I don't think there is anything to worry about yet! You aren't breastfreding still, right?

    Thanks for the responses girls! No I am not breastfeeding so that shouldn't be effecting anything. I started taking FertileCM capsules so hopefully that makes me have more EWCM this month. We'll see!

    That will help the CM but it will not sway girl just so you know! It will help with a Boy sway!
