Pregnancy Advisor’s answers:
- luteinization is the process of formation of corpora lutea.
- corpora lutea is a yellowish mass of progesterone-secreting endocrine tissue that forms
immediately after ovulation from the ruptured follicle in the ovary (its formation is induced by
luteinizing hormone)
- the literal meaning of corpus luteum is yellowish body (new latin)

What happens to the Luteinizing Hormone level if fertilization?
What happens to the Luteinizing Hormone level if fertilization is occur
Pregnancy Advisor’s answers:
Nothing. The luteinizing hormone is what surges just before ovulation. It’s already subsided
after you ovulate. What increases is progesterone. That is what will support a pregnancy until
the placenta is mature enough to take over.
HCG is the hormone that a pregnancy test looks for – not LH!

Women who are ovulating have an LH surge when they are most fertile, but both men and
women have the LH hormone in their bodies. What other conditions can cause an LH surge in
the body? such as medications or high sugar? Any other condition as well.

4. Steroid based hormones typically form from cholesterol. I forgot the rest but mainly that is it.
You shouldn’t need to do anything extra to have enough nutrients in your body to make
hormones.
Jenny asks…
What does my Follicle Stimulating Hormone and Luteinizing
results mean?
Okay, I just got my results back from my hormone test, and my results are as follow:
FSH 0.93
LH 4.12
Can someone please help me interpret the results because I’m so confused about the values. I
don’t know if this is a good or bad.
Thanks!
P.S
I have very irregular periods and my doctor said I might not be ovulating and I’m trying to
conceive.

5. It really depends on where you are in your cycle . . . These levels vary whether you are on CD3
/ towards the start of your cycle to CD21 towards the middle of the cycle and then the end of
your cycle.
FSH is follicle stimulating hormone – basically it gives you a good indication of your egg count
and quality. LH is similar – also giving an indication of ovarian reserve . . . Along with an
indication of whether or not you ovulated. They rise and fall with each other over the course of
your cycle.
I wouldn’t stress yourself out over the values – ovulation issues are usually very treatable – just
take it step by step with your doctor.
Here are some links that you can research your values based on where you are in your cycle:
