- Full blood count - Normal - she didn't mention numbers.
- ESR (Erythrocyt Sedimentation Rate - inflammation marker used to check for infections & some cancers & autoimmune diseases as far as I know?) - Normal
- Ferritin - 53 Good
- Haemoglobin 14.1 - Good
- Thyroid (TSH) - Normal
- Progesterone - 1.4 Normal
- Oestrogen - 49 Low
So she is asking for an additional hormone test for FSH - to see if I am ovulating at all because that will show whether the low oestrogen is linked to ovulation (I have a Mirena IUD so actually have no idea any more) or if I am possibly pre-menopausal. I did not see that one coming!
And you now all officially know TMI about me!
Oh and I have 2x interviews this week to try to get out of the mad-house I am in which is causing all my stress...
I have to go for the stress ECG tomorrow morning to see how my heart handles cardio-stress. Should be fun.
I hope you find the answer. I was premenopausel before th twins but it seems the pregnancy has helped a lot! (Of course actually getting pregnant was not easy) Anyways, now I have cholesterol issues and my BP is always low - seem the cholesterol meds help to control that as a side effect - am feeling so much better.
