Sorry Lynn,
I had half written my post earlier this morning and completed it now when I came in for lunch. I didn't see your most recent post... :hugs:

It IS your right to know your levels. In fact it is your responsibility to know as much as you can about what it all means. 83 does indicate that ovulation is a way off - to be expected on cd9 in a woman who ovulates later I would think ... I get very annoyed with health care professionals that don't want to divulge information. Having said that it can be a tricky position for a nurse as she/he really can't talk to you without having the consent of the overseeing obs. Perhaps this is why she was a bit cagey.

I would talk to your FS and ask for more information. Ask for the low down. Ask for what levels he wants to see and why. I would also ask that this information be provided to you when you phone for your results. Explain that you don't want a "it wasn't high enough" response - you want to know what it is. Even if it's not optimal that you will feel more comfortable with all the information.
It is your right as a health care consumer. I am imaging Lynn that when you get Wednesday's results (I assume you will receive them WEd pm) that will indicate the necessity or not for u/s. Usually when levels reach a certain point it will indicate that follicular maturation is occuring and they will have a look see on u/s.

Yes, you can have hormone tracking in Qld. Your obs/FS will nominate a path lab and write out the appropriate forms. It's not a problem - so don't worry too much about that one...
