What is the normal LH and FSH value on day 2 of periods?

This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I had a biochemical pregnancy before seven months. One month later, when I took a scan it showed a simple right ovarian cyst measuring 33 x 27 mm. I took Meprate tablet and got my period. Then, my cycle was regular for a month. Then, when I tried again for pregnancy, I did not get my period and PT also came back negative. Again, I took Meprate tablet and got by period. I had LH and FSH test on the second day of my period. LH is 11.93 and FSH is 5.96. RBC and thyroid test are normal. Is this LH value an issue? What should I do to overcome this? When can I try for pregnancy again?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Regarding the simple cyst and its size, there is no matter of worry. The normal value of luteinizing hormone (LH) on day 2 is 2-18 and the normal value of follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) on day 2 is 1-18. Both of which fall in the normal range and so you need not worry. You please start on Folic acid supplements and also meet your gynecologist. The growth of the follicles can be studied in detail and then we can know the day of ovulation and plan for pregnancy accordingly. Usually, if you try from day 12 to day 22 of your fertile period, the chances of you getting pregnant are more. So, please take those supplements and plan on these days for better results.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

Please get your pelvic scan done to rule out the exact cause of irregular periods. May be you have PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome) or some other cause. Also, get a thyroid profile done. We first have to know the exact cause of irregular periods and then we can treat you appropriately.
