i have found out some information on levels before IVF. According to a book that I have bought ("Fertility and Conception") FSH levels below 6 are excellent for stimulating. It basically shows that you have a good ovarian reserve and your chances are generally increased for success at IVF. Estradiol levels on day 3 should be between 25-75pg/ml. They hope for low FSH and low estradiol levels which you have so that is great. TSH stands for thyroid stimulating hormone and indicates how well your thyroid is working. They look for levels in and around 1.7. LH (luteinizing hormone should be less than 7. Your numbers are very similar to mine and my RE said that they were all great. Right now I am on day 8 of my stims and am due to go in for ER on 5/11. I am on Gonal-F and they started me at 75iu's but they have gradually increased my dosage. I have about 7 follicles and my estradiol level is 457. As you start the stims, they want to see your estradiol levels increase but not too much because that would indicate ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome. I hope that this helps.
Good luck to you. I hope everything goes great.
