Prolactin and Progesterone should be tested seven days post LH surge. Individual normal values may vary from one to the other laboratory.

• Progesterone Day of LH Surge: <1.5 ng/ml; Mid Luteal Phase (seven days after Ovulation) >10-15 ng/ml


• Luteinizing Hormone (LH) Follicular Phase (day two or three): <7mIU/ml; Day of LH Surge: >15mIU/ml


• Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) Follicular Phase (day two or three): <13mIU/ml; Day of LH Surge: >15 mIU/ml


• Estradiol Day of LH Surge: >100 pg/ml; Mid Luteal Phase (seven days after Ovulation): >60 pg/ml; Cycle Day 3: < 60 ng/ml


• Prolactin:<25 ng/ml


• TSH (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone):0.5 - 5.5 mIU/L


• Free T3: 1.4 to 4.4 pg/ml


• Free Thyroxine (T4): 0.8 to 2.0 ng/dl


• Total Testosterone: 6.0 to 89 ng/dl


• Free Testosterone: 0.2 to 0.6 ng/ml


• Dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEAS): 0.80-35 microgram/ml Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA): 2.7-7.8 ng/ml
