 ====Day 3 Blood Test====
-‘Day 3 Bloods’ usually refer to the hormones E2, FSH and LH. E2 refers to oestrogen, the main female hormone which is secreted from the ovary. FSH is Follicle-Stimulating Hormone. This hormone is released from the brain and stimulates the ovary to mature an egg. LH refers to 'luteinizing hormone,’ which is integral in the final maturation and release of a mature follicle.
