Brief Answer:
Estradiol increased
Detailed Answer:
Hello
I remember our conversation previously.
You testesterone and FSH are normal but estradiol shows little higher value.
Estradiol is converted from testesterone. Hence high estradiol does not signify anything in presence of normal testesterone.
This definitely has no impact on DNA fragmentation as we discussed previously. Hence you can be worry free about hormones you have attached.
I think you can try for pregnancy normally as next step.
