Avatar f tn I am going to schedule to have the Implanon removed. I had considered both of the IUD's and am not comfortable with the idea. I have family history of breast cancer and ovarian cancer so birth control with high estrogen really isn't an option for me either. I will probably end up on birth control pills because my doctor doesn't recommend the mini pill which I loved when I was breastfeeding.
Avatar n tn I do take estradiol 2 mg, but from what i have researched with HRT it should not be higher than 340. Does this mean it could be caused from ovarian cancer or are my labs just out of whack because of estradiol dose being too high??
Avatar f tn My doctor had my FSH, LH, progesterone, and estradiol levels tested twice. Here are my results: FSH first test: 6.2 second test: 6.8 LH first test: normal apparently, but I didn't see what exactly it was second test: 7.9 Estradiol first test: not sure, but normal apparently second test: 52 I'm a little concerned about the estradiol. A few sources I've checked online have said that an estradiol level of above 50 can mask a high FSH. Is this true?
1651832 tn?1301690605 It was used (and probably still is) in Bi-est, which is an estrogen combination of Estradiol and Estriol that you can usually only pick up from a Compounding pharmacy. It was big in Europe (as I recall...) but it was because it was tougher to get it here in the US and the push to use mostly or only Estradiol was not as prevalent at that time. It was also supposed to be the next big thing regarding protection against breast cancer.
1408491 tn?1284682899 There are other types of ovarian cancer that are hormone driven and depending which form a person has there will be excess symptoms of that specific hormone. This is the type my wife was Dx with granulosa cell ca. These group type are called sex cord -stromal tumors. These type of tumors have specific markes that the Dr's use just like ca-125 to aide in their dx of epitheal ovarian ca. They are Inhibin A&B and MIS.
Avatar f tn I am sorry you went through chemo and radiation at such a young age. I was thrown into surgical menopause after surgery for ovarian cancer when I was 37. It is tough! I hope you are able to reverse any lasting hormonal loss you have from chemo. Good luck to you!
Avatar f tn dosage was increase to 375 ui for 3 days and still, estradiol is low and no follicles seen. doctor advised to cancel the ivf due to abandon cycle and try next cycle again with an increase dosge of 450ui. Why is it that my body is not responding to gonal f even though the dosage has been increased? Is there a problem? How sure i am that i will respond to next cycle if its already 450 ui? What would be my other options if i am really not responding to that med?
Avatar m tn Mid cycle labs are not helpful to assess ovarian reserve. You must do a cycle day 2 or 3 FSH, LH, Estradiol. Thank you.
Avatar f tn I had a hysterectomy 9 years ago (ovarian cancer but no chemo) and have since developed chronic migraines + headaches, allergy to cat hair that was treated with allergy shots over 2 years, and an exacerbated dust allergy that did not respond to shots. My migraines involve great sensitivity to odours and sounds. You are well within your rights to ask people around you (at work or school) not to wear perfumes because most of the new perfumes are chemical-based.
Avatar f tn FSH: 4.5 and Estradiol 59. The levels yesterday 3/29/10 (day 10) were: FSH: 9.7 and Estradiol 163. I am using OPK's per the direction of my fertility doctor on cycle days 12-21 (I started early and have been getting negative results - not surprising since I know that it might be too soon to ovulate). Does anyone know how to interpret these day 10 results? Thank you!
1820675 tn?1317183244 m trying to find out if i will still have a period since i have my ovaries and if this means that i am still at risk for ovarian cancer & cysts? Its so overwhelming and i have been searching everywhere online for info and cant find anything that i want to know.
Avatar n tn Thank you for your comments. I think what I am experiencing is different from what you had. The pains in my thighs has been going on for 4 months. I am seeing my oncologist next week for another scan. I am afraid he will say that the cancer has spread and that is why I am having pain in my legs. I haven't been able to find information on a correlation between the female reproductive system and the thighs.
Avatar f tn My mother took Tamoxifen for 5 years after her second breast cancer. She lived for 14 more years, dying at 80 of undiagnosed ovarian cancer. Undiagnosed because she was SO stubborn and would not be examined for some symptoms that were pointing to that disease. All told, she lived for 27 years after her first breast cancer.
533193 tn?1289727345 Hello to you all I just found out about a week and a half ago that i have an ovarian cysts and had to be placed on bcps and hated that idea but ohwell. I had gotten some bloodwork done on monday which was day 3 of my cycle and these are the answers that i wanted to worry about( really worrying about them). My CA 125 is 44.4 U/ml and they are supposed to be less than 35 and that is driving me crazy.FSH was 5.1, LH is 4.4and estradiol is 10 and prolactin is 11.8.
Avatar m tn The doctor started talking to her about symptoms, which could be cervical cancer or ovarian cancer. Yesterday they did a biopsy on her cervics and told to come back in 2 weeks. Shouldn't they be doing more test in the mean time, (x-rays, cat scans, ultra sounds)?
Avatar f tn s as a guide to determine if you have the most common form of ovarian cancer, approximately 80% of all ovarian cancers are epitheal ovarian cancer which is cancer of the cells on the surface of your ovary. Please keep in mind that CA-125 can be elevated if your menstruating and some other cuases of inflamation.. There are other types of ovarian cancer that are hormone driven and depending which form a person has there will be excess symptoms of that specific hormone.
Avatar m tn My Mother had cervical cancer when I was young and has been fine for years BUT two years ago she was diagnosed with breast cancer and went through treatments and then they found ovarian cancer which has spread and she is not doing well and has stopped treatments. My doctor, who I trust and who did my last surgery, recommends a hysterectomy for me with my problems and Mothers history. I have heard horror stories about it and the homorne therapy decision.
Avatar f tn HI Everyone, I haven't been on here in a while, but I have another question that maybe this community can help me with. I was diagnosed in 2004 with GCT and had surgery which was considered as my treatment with no chemo or radiation. Last January my inhibinb B test came back elevated while my Inhibin A and Estradiol were normal...I was pretty much told it was a fluke and don't worry about it.
Avatar n tn Regarding the cancer history, I had one grandmother with lung cancer, one grandmother with cervical cancer and then CLL, one grandfather with colon cancer and then lung cancer, and another grandfather with three different types of colon cancers. None of the grandparents with >2 cancers had faced recurrences or metastases and each cancer occurrence happened decades apart in each person; these were all net new cancer occurrences.
398459 tn?1262186144 TSH 1.88, FSH 7.1, prolactin 24.4, and estradiol 46.4. My MD said after the first test that the results indicated decreased ovarian reserve due to the FSH level. After the second test, he said only that even though my FSH level was normal, it "still doesn't bode well for pregnancy". That is all that I was told. Any thoughts? How "abnormal" (or normal) are my results? Will IVF be an option for me? Thanks for the help...
Avatar f tn s office- I had my day 3 blood work redone last week and just got the results- this is odd and she thinks my ovarian cysts have thrown off my nbrs and are interferring with stuff. My FSH is 1.6- yes 1.6. That doesnt sound right, unless there was a mistake at the lab. My AMH is .16.. that is low. She said after I get my laproscropy done we need to go to injectables. FSH and AMH usually go hand in hand, and the nurse commented that my last FSH of 10 isnt really congruent with my very low AMH.
Avatar f tn I am 53 and have been in menopause for over a year. No oeriod in 10 months. I have recently gained about 8 pounds in the last two months, change in bowel habits, sore breasts. Just been feeling that my period is coming but it doesn't. Called my doctor to check my hormone levels. My estradiol went from less then 15 to 454. Not on any hormone therapy except for OTC Estroven. Hot flashes have stopped maybe because my estrogen has gone nuclear.
594914 tn?1245263684 Bny807 is right. In regards to fertility assistance, estrogen thickens your uterine lining so that your precious babies will implant deep and secure and have nutrients. BNY807-Congrats on your BFP!!!
Avatar f tn The last six months I started getting my P every month for 3 weeks! My doc first prescribed me an estrogen (Estradiol) pill and told me to take it when my P was longer then 10 days. Well that didn't work. Two months ago he put me on the patch. A new patch every week. It worked the first month and I got no period at all (which is what he told me would happen) now I'm starting to bleed again. I'm so frustrated and I'm worried that it's gonna be another month long period.
