Avatar f tn Start of my third week suppression, i was given a shot of gonal f for 225 ui for 5 days, after my lab test, estradiol is low and follicles are not present. 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?
Avatar m tn Basically i posted a question about my ocd and transgender fear. So i told my parents and they took me to a doctor and phsycologist. I am on 20mg of prozac a day in liquid form. Starting monday i am being pushed up to 40mg a day. I have been taking the med for 5 days now.
Avatar f tn 2 mg soft capsules along with the same dosage of estradiol for next 9 days. She told me that I am suppose to get my periods within 3 to 7 days after I finish this medicine. Today is the 14th day but still I did not get my periods. I want to ask what can be the reason. I had PCOS problem 3 years back but now my periods were normal, I also had a history of a miscarriage and tubal pregnancy along with a successful pregnancy.

402702 tn?1325887812 before i left the dr gave me a script for estradiol and told me that my cervic liner was a bit thin and they like it to be a little bit thicker when iui's are the treatment and that my blood work was going to be reviewed and then i will get a call to let me know the dosage that i need to use for the gonal and let me know if i am to start this script... well i go a call and they called my cell and left a message just stating the gonal and nothing was mentioned about the script estradiol...
Avatar f tn Hi. My real name is Ryan Baker, i don't care who knows. I'm sorry for wasting your time with my problems, but I need to let this out. First off. I am a male 15 year old Canadian, I am transgender, I have been for about a year, but I recently realized what all the feelings I had before were. I realized I was transgender, I hated myself for it, I still do. I shunned myself and stopped talking to people for awhile, thinking they're all better then me (they all still are).
Avatar f tn Was wondering why I am itching all over. My dr. increased my dosage from 1 mg to 2 mg. Could this increase have something to do with my itching?

Avatar f tn t absorbing it which would imply that your symptoms are from the loss of your ovaries and not the estradiol itself. I am also on estradiol tablets but I don't take mine orally. I either insert them vaginally or let them dissolve between my cheek and gum (transbuccal). And I use a higher dose of 1mg. My Rx is for 2mg but since I don't take them orally / swallow (no first pass through the liver), I cut them in half and only take 1mg. The use of only 1/2 pill makes it dissolve faster too.
Avatar f tn Okay so I'm a transgender man, on Testosterone for about 9 months but was on a very low dosage (25ML), I switched to a higher dosage (40ML) this past Monday.. but I do still menstruate < i menstruate a lot less now but basically it means I'm still fertile.. Me and my BF had PIV sex on Sunday. We used a condom and he pulled out before he ejaculated, and he ejaculated in the condom.
2002523 tn?1327612787 I've been on a 91-day pill for a couple of months now. I'm 42 and started the pill to help regulate my heavy periods, shrink my uterus and possibly manage my polyps. After the first four weeks, my period couldn't be suppressed, showed up with a vengence and I think I'm on the other side of the massive bleeding and tissue breakdown. My gyn instructed me to double my pills (twice daily) until the bleeding stops completely. I've been on the double dosage for close to five weeks.
Avatar f tn I am a MtF transgender woman who has fully transitioned through numerous surgeries (face, breasts, genitalia). Appearing 100% "passable" in the new gender is of utmost importance to a transgender person so that they can be fully accepted in their new gender and not have to be concerned with being discovered as trans.
Avatar n tn Tell me you are joking? Of course you can get HIV from a transgender and for your information transgender means male to female or female to male.
Avatar m tn If you want to get treatment for this condition, then the things that work in many cases for PSSD will work for this as well, though some people respond much better to treatments than others, depending upon the severity of the case.
Avatar f tn Thanks for the reply. I am due for labs in 30 days but was curious about the connection. At my last appointment, I asked my doc to lower progesterone from 200 to 150 (I take it in a pill with estradiol). After three weeks, I am now noticing my face clearing up so much mre and starting to feel like maybe my armour could even be lowered a tad. One thing to note, I also began taking it in split doese and sublingually in the past 10 days.
Avatar f tn I had my first estradiol and testosterone implants and am taking progesterone pills at night. My hot flashes have stopped and my libido has improved some, but I'm bloated like I've never been before-even when I had regular periods. I always exercise and try to eat healthy most of the time-but I've gained 5lbs. over the month- and it's all "jelly-belly" fat. My appetite is ravenous!
647365 tn?1292472212 Can someone please tell me what is a normal estradiol level for a HCG trigger and ovulation? Was on Menopur 225 iu. for 9 days pre-trigger. My level was 225 - 4 days before iui. Day of iui I had 4 follicles - 2 at 17.5 mm, 1 at 15, and 1 at 14. My RE thought 3 were mature. My progesterone level 5 dpiui was 23.63. Thanks for any info.
Avatar n tn Since being tested high for Estradiol, I've had a testicular ultrasound and a CT scan on my adrenal glands. Neither showed any tumors, so I've been diagnosed with Excess Aromotase Syndrome and my doctor is prescribing Arimidex.
Avatar f tn This was my first IVF cycle but my ovaries did not respond well at all to Gonal F 225 IUs and my Estradiol level was 41 on my 5th day. So the doctor increased Gonal F to 300 IUs and my Estradiol level increased on my 10th day to 192, but I still only had 3 follies. :( He cancelled this cycle of IVF and wants to go with IUI instead. The chances are slimmer but I do have 3 follies and just maybe one of my hubby's lil soldiers will penetrate one of my stubborn lil eggs.
988694 tn?1332359479 He does not believe in that, and he order some to tests. I went for estradiol test which is 78. Not sure if my estrogen is too low. I will have progesterone test in one more week. My FSH is 8.3 . Anybody experiencing something similar? is my estrogen too low for an ovulating woman? should I go into hormonal replacement (bioidentical)? any input will be appreciated. Thanks.
134513 tn?1212965848 IT took several months to make the dosage correct, my periods were irregular prior to the correct dosage. I have been TTC for 18 months now and I am on my second round of clomid. So, we shall see if the bromocriptine and clomid will work. I certainly don't think I can take another let down!
17008026 tn?1453000615 Hi! During the last six months my weight has increased from ~135 (60 kg) to almost 175 (80kg) pounds. This happens even though my general level of exercise has increased and I just eat approximately 1300-1500 calories a day. I would have asked my doctor about this but he's not very accessible at the moment, and I'm not sure if this is the right place to get an answer to this type of question.
Avatar f tn I have premature ovarian failure and took estradiol for months and it has made me crazy depressed, along with many other symptoms, it has ruined my life. You are not alone! It changed my brain chemisty, now doctors and family think I am crazy, when before I was the calmest, rock of a person you could find. I say again, you are not alone, hang in there and search for answers!
Avatar f tn Think about it. If you were transgender and your parents didn't accept you or treated you like sh!t for being that way, do you think you would have a good relationship with them? Its common sense... And it's disgusting that parents do this to thier children. You don't have to like everything your child does, but you should always love and support them. Ericatoday had an opinion as did I, she chose to express it.
