Blood Hormones Showed Low Vitamin D Level. On Estradiol, Hydroxy. What Do The Tests Mean?

I just had my blood hormone levels checked and the results came back that I had low vitamin D levels. The rest of the hormone levels all came back as normal; however, I don't think the results are based on my menstrual cycle. When I had the blood work done, they didn't even ask the date of my last period. Now I am really confused as to what the test results really mean. Last period was 4/15/13 and I'm about a 31-33 day cycle.
Estradiol - 77pg/Ml; Luteinizing Hormone - 6.4 mIU/ML; Progesterone - 3.3 ng/ML; FSH 6.4 - mIU/ML; TSH 1.95 - uIU/mL; Hydroxy, Vitamin D - 20ng/ML. Can you help me understand the results? Are the levels really normal?

Hi friend,
Welcome to Health Care Magic

'They' need not ask before doing the blood tests...
The doctor interprets the level in relation to the period...and even then they may not ask, if the result is in range.
Vitamin D is low / the rest are normal / it can be replenished rather simply - ask your doctor / weekly doses initially , followed by daily maintenance will suffice

Take care
Wishing speedy recovery
God bless
Good luck
