Hey ladies, I need some help

I am 33, and DH and I have been TTC for almost a yr. I came off BCP in February, after being on it for 10+ years. My periods have been irregular, so by Ob/Gyn sent me to an RE.

I saw Dr. Rosenfeld 2 weeks ago, and liked him and his staff. I saw him on CD 40, and he drew blood and did an internal sono, also tested DH. When I went back to see him he told me DH is fine.

Most things with me are also ok, but he said my FSH/LH levels were out of whack. He wanted to start me on clomid, but for a few reasons I decided to wait a bit. I went home to do some research and of course now wish I could speak to him because I feel much more educated on this issue and feel like I have a million questions.

My questions for you ladies are:

1. Shouldn't he have done bloodwork on CD 3? Are my results skewed because it was CD 40?
2. These are my levels, from what I have read they seem ok, except for maybe my LH. I need help analyzing them please :)

TSH 2.78
Total T4 9
Estradiol 58 f
Progesterone 1.8 f
LH 9.1 f
FSH 5.3 f
Prolactin 17.8

Thanks ladies!

Did Dr Rosenfeld tell you to call when you get your period?

All I can say is FSH blood work is done on Day 3.

Your TSH is slightly high, that's "Thyroid Stimulating Hormone". It can effect TTC. Dr.'s say they like to see it between 1-2 when TTC.

I would make an appt at an endo and get it checked out because that number will probably fall into the "normal" range at your GP's office.

This is how I found out I have Hashimoto's disease, by my RE because my GP said it was "normal".

No, when I was there for my results (a few days after the bloodwork), I had my period. He wanted to start me on Clomid and I decided to think about it for a bit.
