Does anyone else have these high? LH (Luteinising hormone)
I just got some bloods done privately as i thought i had a thyroid problem due to high TSH on previous tests.
Went through medichecks to get a female hormone test which included the above plus thyroid expecting to see something thyroid related high and they were fine where LH and Oestradiol were very high for any time of the month i was in.
Just wonder if anyone else has this or experiences the following symptoms because of this. I realise this might be quite specific.
Extreme Tiredness
Itching skin
Dry skin in places
Weight gain around lower stomach and sides (could be somewhat lockdown related too!)
Concentration problems
Memory problems
Mild Lower back ache
A lot of mild PMS most of the month over 2 weeks prior to period.
I should add i turned 30 in April and i am otherwise healthy.
what are your thyroid results? the ranges are sometimes wide and what is optimal for you might not be just within a range. i had high antibodies low free t3 but ‘normal’ tsh and t4 and i was very unwell
Weirdly i was expecting thyroid ones to be high or something but my TSH was 3.56, free t3 was 4.63 and free thyroxine was 13.7
if you post them with the ranges in thyroid group on here there may well be some good advice.’ my tsh was 5 and i felt like death. did you test antibodies? i think it’s accepted by most of us in thyroid patient world that most people feel best with tsh under 1
I will try and update with my full results above now.
Doesn’t seem to want to let me upload more pictures
if you post them in the thyroid group on here that would prob get more response x
Thanks, i have done with previous thyroid results but were in the normal range for this blood test and the others were high
in normal range rarely means anything, it should be under 1 from my experience, but maybe post and see what others think
