I recently had a second miscarriage and am now doing a bunch of testing to figure out what is going on. I just took the bloodwork that is timed with my menstrual cycle and have no idea how to interpret the results at all. I don't have my next dr. appt. to go over the results until mid-July and would like to get an idea of what could be normal or not. These are the three tests I took and the results:
- Estradiol 17 Beta Serum: 36
- Luteinizing Hormone: 2.06
- FSH: 2.68
I already googled this stuff and maybe have an idea, but would like to get an opinion from some ladies that have possibly had this bloodwork before.
Thanks!! 
I also don't know too much about these blood tests, but generally they aren't the ones that will give you a cause for losses. But, its usually where IF testing gets started. Let me know if you want any ideas on things to test for RPL, I had 2 as well and was finally able to figure out a cause and am now 31w pregnant.
I imagine these were Day#3 labs, which means you will probably have a Day#21 progesterone level drawn in a couple of weeks (low progesterone could possibly lead to recurrent losses). Depending on when (how many weeks) your losses occurred, there are lots of different possible causes and the testing (blood testing and imaging) can be quite extensive. If these are your only two pregnancies OR if you've previously carried a pregnancy to term, it's possible that there's nothing "wrong" (an estimated 1 in 5 confirmed pregnancies ends in m/c) and you will be successful next time! Hope this helps. Wishing you the best of luck! 
Also, if you're doing your testing through your OB/Gyn and feel that you need to be more aggressive, you could consider seeing a Reproductive Endocrinologist/RE!
