bloodwork/results

Had the bloodwork done this morning. The clinic called me by 1pm with the results. Here they are:
FSH= 5.5 (they want under 10) YEAH!
E2= 56 (they prefer under 50) said mine was ok still.

Now that I have the results......NOTHING, I have no idea what they mean!! I know they have something to do with egg quality but really dont know what it means that my E2 level is above the preferred level.
The doctor is away on vacation until Thursday, so I am unable to get my "clear" plan. I talked to the nurse about my early ovulation over the past 2 months and she agreed that it would be best for me to come in on CD8 (Friday) and have a sonogram done to check my follicles. She will discuss my case with the doctor on Thursday and call me if the doctor doesnt want us to do the scan that early (normally done on cd10). Good news, looks like we will be having the insemination done over next weekend!!!! Bad news, I will have to give myself a shot in the abdomin.....yikes, never done that before!! I am so nervous & excited at the same time. Well got my prescription filled for the clomid. I will take 100mg starting tomorrow. I really hope this works!
