default
Posted on Fri, 21 Nov 2014
Question: I have had a day 21 progestorone test done. Do these tests mean I ovulate:

Serum FSH level 3.3 (low)
LH level 3.9
Serum Progesterone Day 21 of 27 day cycle 43 nmol/L

With the above results can I conceive naturally. I worried about FSH being low.

Yes you are ovulating and conceive naturally.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for writing to us about it.

I can understand your concern, though.

I have worked through your reports and your all values within normal range.

Your progesterone value is more than 25nmol/ L which means you are ovulating during this cycle.

You can conceive naturally.

-You should go for intercourse during your most productive days.

-Take folic acid tablet and multivitamins.

- Do not take stress

- Do some yoga and meditation

- Take healthy and balanced diet.

Hope it useful, feel free to ask more questions.

Good luck.

Brief Answer:
It is a follicle stimulating hormone.

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX

Nice to hear from you again though.

As your test was done in 21 days of the cycle your FSH value is also within normal limit.

Normally it is done on day 2-3 of the menstrual cycle.

It is a follicle stimulating hormone made by the pituitary gland.

Low level indicate that the follicle is not producing eggs properly.

PCOD, underweight, too much testosterone and estrogen hormone and stress is common causes of low FSH level.

To boost up level-

-Take healthy and balanced diet with green leafy vegetables, essential fatty acid in it.
-Do not carry stress
Keeping your liver healthy
Maintaining your weight
-Do meditation, yoga and walk

Hope it is useful, feel free to ask more.

Good luck.
Regards
Dr.Richa
