Estradiol, luteal phase — lab reference
Ask your clinician to read this result with cycle timing and ovulation status.

Method-dependent; LC-MS/MS is preferred at very low values.
FSH, follicular — lab reference
Ask your clinician to read this result with estradiol, age, and cycle day.
FSH, luteal — lab reference
The test method matters.
FSH, midcycle — lab reference
The test method matters.
FSH, postmenopausal — lab reference
Wide range; hormone therapy may suppress.

LH, follicular — lab reference

LH, luteal — lab reference
The test method matters.
LH, midcycle — lab reference
Surge timing produces a very wide range.
LH, postmenopausal — lab reference
Hormone therapy may suppress.
Progesterone, follicular — lab reference
Cycle day and exogenous progesterone timing matter.
Progesterone, luteal — lab reference
Single values are pulse- and timing-sensitive; confirm the clinical question.
Progesterone, ovulatory window — lab reference
Wide physiologic variation.
Progesterone, postmenopausal — lab reference
Exogenous hormone use changes interpretation.
