Title: Estrogen level blood result
Post by: Ruby10 on January 31, 2018, 09:44:09 PM

MY estrogen level is at 88 when tested , doesthis give any indication as to what stage of perimenopause I am in ? or is it the FSH level that shows this more ?

I don't know much but hate to see a post unanswered.   I found this information about what levels are normal

The reference range estradiol in women varies by menstrual cycle and menopausal status, as follows: Before menopause, estradiol levels are widely variable throughout the menstrual cycle: Mid-follicular phase: 27-123 pg/mL. Periovulatory: 96-436 pg/mL.

I hope that is some help to you.

I don't think one estradiol test on its own is worth a lot - they need to see how it varies with your cycle. Not sure about
FSH as never got that far, but someone else will know.x

Thanks both, my FSH was 11 so that does show peri stage also with the low estrogen result.
