FSH, LH, AMH blood test after D and C
Hello.
I had a missed abortion a month back and had to undergo a D and C procedure.
My doctor advised FSH, LH and AMH blood tests after periods return.
After the procedure, my periods returned after 6 weeks and I will be doing the blood tests.
However, the first period which I have gotten after the procedure is lighter than my usual periods. Can also be called scanty.
Can I still go ahead with the FSH, LH and AMH blood tests with lighter/scantier period? Will it affect the test results in any way?
Does light/heavy flow of period play a factor for the tests or do I need to have heavier flow for the tests to be conducted?

The tests you need is a detailed BOH panel to evaluate the cause of your missed abortion and not just the tests mentioned above
Also the tests mentioned above are to be done on Day 2/3 of your periods irrespective of flow

Scanty or heavy flow doesn't affect these results.
These tests are done if you anxious to conceive.
These tests doesn't tell about the reason for abortion

You do not require these investigations
They are not going to be affected by the scanty period
Nor are they going to help evaluate the reason for the abortion,!
