Can I Get Pregnant With 'LH-5.80 And FSH-5.20'?

i am 27yrs lady trying for baby for 7 months with no success. I have asked by my doctor to take the hormone test. My periods are regular.
I have taken the hormone test at 2nd day of my periods.

LH = 5.80mIu/ml
FSH = 5.20 mIu/ml
Prolactne = 6.98 ng/ml

Is my hormone levels are normal? My doctor said there is no dependence between LH and FSH.
But i heard LH should be less than FSH. Please help

Hi there,
Welcome to HCM,

Do not worry.

Usually the FSH values are almost twice that of LH, if not so then we suspect the women to have a condition called PCOS and do additional hormonal tests and pelvic ultrasound.

But in your case what really matters is if you have any other health concerns or not.

You should be getting regular period, if your period are not regular then it is more likely that you have PCOS, also having PCOS will make childbearing more difficult. But with just one FSH, LH value you need not worry.

Moreover all factors of infertility need to be evaluated after 1 year of trying, but since you have started the evaluation in 7 months you need to do all the tests including your pelvic ultrasound, blood tests including thyroid and prolactin levels. Your partner semen analysis is also essential. Only after complete analysis can a cause for infertility if at all any can be ascertained.

Take Folic acid 5 mg while you are trying to conceive.

Hope this helps.
Regards.
