In response to the questions I received directly,
the patient as far as we know is not on OCP, but I can't tell you whether fertility is the issue of most concern to her just yet (need to ring the GP tomorrow afternoon).
We assay our hormones on the Immuno-1.
Reference ranges are as follows:
LH 0.9 - 9.8 IU/L follicular phase
FSH 1.5 - 11.4 IU/L follicular phase
PRL 83 - 527 mU/L
OE2 36 - 1762 pmol/L
TSH 0.3 - 5.0 mU/L
