Bloodwork results are in

TSH - 3.50. Whilst the lab where I was tested consider this to be normal, new guidelines suggest that anything over 3 is indicative of hypothyroidism. For TTC purposes, 1.5-2 is recommended.

So I need to persuade my dr to treat that. Hopefully she will be ok about it.

My FSH is 3.1. My LH is 5.4. Apparently higher than a 1:1 ratio is not that brilliant and may be indicative of PCOS (thanks, Google!). However, when we did the test we thought I was pre ovulation in a wacky cycle. It turns out, of course, that I was 4 days away from an annovulatory bleed, and I don't know if that will affect those results.

So I guess I should find out a little bit more as to what those results are likely to mean.

Prolactin seems normal at 4.30.

Blood glucose isn't back yet, and I guess that the dr will want that in before really deciding what to do.

I have a starting point.
