FSH, LH, TSH Test Results...?

Question

I have asked previous questions regarding my symptoms, but have yet to find a definite answer maybe someone with medical knowledge can help me understand what these test results mean.
First off, I have been very irregular in my menses for about three years now, One year no cycle at all, two years heavy bleeding w/out any days off, then my doctor gave me progesterone this past April and still no cycle. I have also been gettin bad headaches on a daily basis, bad lower stomach pain on a daily basis, I had a cyst on my right ovary and my motor skills are completely off lately, I feel like a child trying to learn how to coordinate myself all over again...blah.
Anyways, sorry to get off track, recently my hormone test results just came back in and I haven't a clue what any of it means. My FSH is 6, LH is 8.3, TSH is 1.95 and glucose is 125, and I have an abnormal trace of ketones in urinalysis, but am having difficulty losing weight. Please can anyone help me with an explaination?

I am also 24 years old with no prior medical symptoms, except for asthma.

Answer 1

Only a doctor can diagnose you but I can give you some ideas of what MIGHT be going on. Your FSH is totally normal but since your LH is higher than your FSH, it might indicate that you have pcos (polycystic ovary syndrome). That would also explain your irregular menses as well as the absent periods and the heavy periods...as well as some of your other symptoms.

Were your blood tests fasting? That is, had they been drawn at least 8 hours after you last ate? If so, your glucose is high and ketones should never show in urine. It is possible that you MIGHT be pre-diabetic. If so, the doctor might suggest that you exercise more and have you make some dietary changes.

As I said, only a doctor can diagnose you. I am just stating possibilities based on the information you posted. Your doctor will be far more accurate since he has access to your medical history, your physical examination and all testing you have had done. He/she is the one who will truly know what is going on with you.
