Yesterday I went see the ob-gyn to hear the result of a female hormone test I had undergone when I was in the high-temprature phase.
The doctor gave me a chart and it said my progesterone level was 3.17 ng/ml ... hmm. However, it does not mean a deficiency of progesterone because the hormone test was given at the very end of the high-temprature phase and in fact menstruation occured the very next day.
Yesterday I underwent another female hormone test to measure my estrogen level. Also, I underwent an ultrasound examination to check ovarian follicles (ranpou) and the doctor said they were still small.
I know that prospective mothers should eat food high in folic acid for health of their prospective baby. I asked the doctor for his opinion on taking supplements of folic acid to make up for what's missing in the diet and he said he would recommend them.
I'm supposed to see the doctor next Wednesday, which will be the fifteenth day of menstrual cycle, to see how ovarian follicies for timing method and hear my estroen level as the result of the famale hormone test.
