Hi there,
So I've been so confused lately about my lab result. I went for my routine blood work last month requested by my RE to update my profile before starting cycle #3. And here's my result:
November 25th:
Thyroid Function
Pituitary Function
Reproductive and Gonadal
aromatase inhibitors have been shown to
interfere with estradiol testing by some
immunoassay technologies resulting in
falsely elevated estradiol concentra-
tions. For patients taking these medica-
tions, please interpret results with
caution.
And the rest were for STI's which were all negative. My RE didn't seem concern and said this was all ok and that we're good to proceed for my mini cycle. Anyway, just coz I wanted to check again, I went to my family doctor, coz I've noticed some changes with my period (sorry TMI), anyway, the last few months it's slightly lighter, though I still get it like clockwork. Anyway, my result came back...
Dec 28th:
General Chemistry
Thyroid Function
cancelled. The BCMA/MSP Protocol
recommends no further testing. However,
a specimen will be stored 4 days.
Pituitary Function
Midcycle: 4.2-19.0 IU/L
Luteal: <8.7 IU/L
Postmenopausal: 16.0 -110.0 IU/L
Midcycle: 9.1 - 74.2 IU/L
Luteal: 2.4 - 6.6 IU/L
Postmenopausal: 11.3 - 58.0 IU/L
Midcycle: 140 - 2380 pmol/L
Luteal: 77 - 1145 pmol/L
Postmenopausal: < 113 pmol/L Bone Markers

aromatase inhibitors have been shown to

I'm just really confused that my FSH pretty much doubled in a matter of a month. Is this even possible? and I'm confused too because the result from Dec 28th was not flagged abnormal even though it is wayyyyy higher than it was from nov.... can anyone please explain this to me??? I'm just really lost and confused....
