Question
I had blood tests to check fertility done. I had my blood taken and my doctor said the results were inconclusive and i had to do the estrodal(sp?) test again. i took it again and because my doc was hard to get an appointment with they gave me to another doctor. in the appointment he said my first estrodal results were fine and didn't know why the first doctor made me retest. my results were 60 the first time and 53 the second time... i want to know what these results mean and which doctor could be right... the one who said the answers were inconclusive or the one that says i am completely fine. I know you don't know all the details but i am just confused and want a little understanding on what they were looking for and if there is a reason to get two answers for the same results?

Answer
Hi Jessica,

What day of your menstrual cycle was the estradiol level checked on?  Was it in the U.S. or other country?
