estradiol for infertility

I had a CCT and had slightly unfavorable results (Day 3 FSH 9.6, Estradiol 72, Day 10 FSH 16.1, Estradiol 482). We are planning to start IVF this cycle. During my baseline today, I had only 5 total antral follicles, and my ovary size was smallish. I am extremely discouraged. I started Acupuncture 3 weeks ago, and wish I had started sooner. Can in still help me conceive or have a successful IVF cycle with these results? Thanks!!

I am taking Crinone gel for infertility, have been taking for 4 months days 17- end of cycle. I am also taking clomid and estradiol. I am currently on day 23 (7th day on crinone) of my cycle and have started having so very mild almost pinching cramps intermittently. They are not painful, but I was just wondering if anyone else has cramping with crinone, I am still about 8 days away from when I am supposed to start my period.

if prolactin and thyroid levels are normal and you still have not conceived, best do an evaluation for other causes of infertility, including a semen analysis, HSG to check fallopian tubes and uterus, and FSH and estradiol levels to evaluation ovarian reserve (how many eggs you have left). if all this is normal, and you still are not getting pregnant, seek treatment for unexplained infertility, with clomid and iui's or FSH and iui's. good luck and don't give up hope.

The doctor started me at 225iu for the first four days of my cycle this month. At my appointment today, I had two 11 sized follicles and one 12 with numerous small follicles. My estradiol level was a 42. The doctor then recommended I cancel this cycle and not continue with shots. He wants to do day 3 blood work for my next cycle before starting shots. I was only able to talk to the nurse on the phone for a few minutes.

So... most of the sources I read say common symtoms of PCOS other than irregular cycles are: overweight; excess hair groth; insulin resistance..etc I'm not sure if i fall into those categories. I asked the infertility dr & he says not all women are over weight and because i'm asian decent, I may be having excess hair growth but less hair follicles. Most of what I read online suggests losing weight. But i know that very little fat can also affect fertility!

On the other hand, if for unexplained infertility with regular periods, then if clomid is going to work it should have done so within the first three tries. If this is the case. you might want to speak with your provider about more complex treatment options such as injection medications or IVF. Good luck!

I have unexplained infertility. I did Clomid for four months...I ovulated on my own, but the Clomid was to help raise progesterone and increase the quality of the egg. My RE will not do more than four months of Clomid becaue it thins the lining. If you do injectables your follicles will be checked often.

After two years of trying, you should have a hysterosalpingogram X-Ray test to see if your fallopian tubes are open, prolactin, thyroid testing, cycle day 3 FSH and estradiol. Your husband should have a sperm count. I am sorry, but I do not know what the abbreviation 'DH' stands for. Testing for progesterone, in my opinion, is the least important test - all it does is confirm that you are ovulating, which we already know because your periods are regular.

I'm 6'1" 280 pounds from what I have read on the web for my height I should weigh around 180 pounds. I understand that I am overweight, but I am naturally big I have a big frame my shoe size is 13 and I have very broad shoulders. I know my testosterone is low because the reference range is the same for say a 60 year old and what is right for him wouldn't be the same for say me at 25 years old. I think the age range is from 8 years old to like 70 years old.

sounds like infertility issue... seek for a 20-30 years experience chinese accupuncturist.

I'm 29 years old lady, married since 8 years, with no chance to get pregnant up-to-moment, since 4 years the symptoms started and were as follow: feeling of pressure on the front face of the neck, and sometimes on the left side, bone and joint pain, recurrent vaginal infection, stomach ache and hyperacidity, bloating, mucus in stool, diarrhea, constipation, weight gain, dry skin, but the cycle was regular, beside an every month cyst on the left ovary "2.

You should read the book Inconceivable: A womens Triumph over Despair and Statistics by Julia Indichova. She was also strugging from secondary infertility due to high FSH. I think hers was in the 40's too. She changed her lifestyle, eating, started exercising etc etc. Finally got her FSH down to 20 i believe and surprisingly conceived on her own and gave birth to a healthy baby. as for your Hashimoto's, this also can cause infertility.

Your Husband should get a semen analysis since 40% of infertility is due to male factors. The typically work-up would be CD3 bloodwork including FSH and estradiol levels. Also if you have been trying for a while then and HSG is recommended to make sure your tubes are open. Also a basline ultrasound.

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.

but m afraid of asking my husband to take me to a gyno for this as he is sick n tired of my thyroid itself. I got my blood test done 6 months ago ...it says TSH:84 uiu/ml FSH:3.9 miu/ml LH:28.

Then she suggest to go for IVF instead for spending so much money on multiple IUIs as ivf has very high success rate in this situation. and ivf can use both as diagnose and treatment procedure. She further said that there is 60% to 75% chance to have baby in our situation considering my age(30) with ivf.Is it true? So I just want to know what your doctor said to you abt this situation.plz help me .

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?

After you see your gynecologist, if you are not getting pregnant, I suggest that you see a specialist for fertility called a Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility specialist. I wish you wellness.

I am 43 and having been ttc for a year after a miscarriage. I just found out I have a day 3 FSH of 16 and estradiol of 29. I ovulate every month according to the ovulator predictors. My ob told me I have a 5-10% chance of pregnancy. I just started taking 100 mg of Clomid. My husband refuses to go through any infertility treatments like IUI. I had my 3 year old daughter at 40. Got pregnant the first we tried. All of this is a shock. Has anyone had success with just Clomid with a high FSH?

lower estradiol on day 3 is good because it means it is not artificially suppressing FSH levels especially if the FSH levels are within the normal range. I think doctors like it to be low on day 3 and since your doctor wasn't worried at all, I do not think you should. You can also check this site out: http://www.magicjack.com/6/index.asp It suggests that lower levels of E2 are better for stimulation.

Day 3 labs are: FSH Estradol Estrogen Prolactin Anti mullerian hormone (the big indicator of ovarian reserve and usually the culpret for "unexplained infertility") Kidney liver thyroid panel

if a pt has 7 follicles, I am looking for an estradiol around 1400, now these are all muture, which rarely is the case, some large some small. Your IVF program knows there success with going with the dominate or sacraficing it for the small cohort to grow. There is know exact science here, only tends and experience with an individual's personal response.
