Thanks for everyone who responded to my other thread about waiting for the bloodwork. The results FINALLY came - about 6 days after they said they'd be in!

I am being referred to a gynecologist, due to the results. (Sidenote: This happens to be the same gyno that another friend of mine went to for fertility issues, and my friend highly recommends this doc.)

Here are my levels:

Insulin total. . . . 14.8 uU/mL
FSH. . .. . . . . . 1.7 mIU/mL
LH. . . . . . . . . . 12.9 mIU/mL
Progesterone. . . 1.2 ng.mL

Can anyone tell me what this means???! My appt isn't until April (due to the need to have 12 months of documented problems conceiving before this doc will see anyone for infertility), and that's a long time to wait!! Thanks in advance for any insight you can offer.

Hi there! I know we have a chart on blood work on the forum somewhere but I can't seem to find it. So I found one here According to this, it looks like your slightly insulin resistant, and your FSH and LH are strong indicators of having PCOS. But it takes more than just numbers to decide - that is the downside of this being a syndrome. It isn't an inclusive or exclusive list of symptoms.

On the bright side, weight loss has been documented as a great way to relieve infertility for PCOSers. Good luck to you!
