Avatar f tn I am currently taking Lupron and Estradiol leading up to my IVF. I am having awful headaches and some nausea with the estradiol. Did anyone else experience this and does it go away? Thanks!
Avatar f tn 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!!
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.
Avatar n tn Well, the doctor who did my transfer told me to take 2 estrodial per day and 3 prometrium per day and shot of progesterone every other day and I wasn't due to go back until my pregnancy test 10/7. However, I was unhappy with several lapses in care that I received along the process so I switched and they immediately started doing my blood levels every 3-4 days. I guess it helps them to keep your hormones where they need to be to support pregnancy.
Avatar f tn Expect a reduced response to stimulation and some reduction in embryo quality with IVF. Reduced live birth rates on the average. 15 - 20 Expect a more marked reduction in response to stimulation and usually a further reduction in embryo quality. Low live birth rates. Antral follicle count is an important variable. Over 20 This is pretty much a "no go" level in our center. Very poor (or no) response to stimulation.
Avatar f tn been trying to have a second baby the past 3years on off cycles of clomid, IUI among others then 4months ago discovered low amh which means low ovarian reserve and my RE didnt recommend IVF but i wanted to try so he gave me a short intensive course of merional and only 1 follicle appeared with low Estradiol level so he cancelled IVF and did IUI 2weeks ago and just got my period so it failed.....i have read about DHEA and bought it...
Avatar f tn If you've just had a hysterectomy, IVF won't apply in your situation. It's in-vitro fertilization. The only reason I mentioned it is because that was the only time I was on estradiol. Except for the cancer risks with taking hormones, which makes it not recommended to take them without doctor's orders or for a long period of time, if someone's own estrogen is dropping, it is probable that their body will generally appreciate estrogen for at least a while.
Avatar n tn Dr, I recently started the Chinese Herbal Medicine treatment for fertility, focusing on tonifying kidney and boosting circulation. The latest Day3 blood test shows an elevated Estradiol above 70 and lowered FSH around 6, compared to my test last year's level of FSH around 8 and Estradiol in mid 40's. I am 39 years old.
Avatar n tn Apparently bad news is if you have high estrogen on day 2. I am in natural cycle IVF and my follicle has developed well and my uterus lining is good. I am having aspiration tomorrow - so it did not look like there was a problem even though estrogen was low on 2nd day. I hope all works well for you. Good luck.
400358 tn?1320234443 So I just got back from the RE's office and I need to vent. I am so frustrated first of all half the time that I go there I only see a nurse bc my RE is at different offices all the time. I feel like im paying a lot of money just to see the nurse. Then we were really frustrated yesterday when we were told that we can't time for IVF yet. We have been to the office six days in a row for blood work and u/s. He isn't telling us anything.
Avatar f tn I can only imagine how frustrating this is! I have only done IUIs (IVF in March) and I know how you feel! I hope that there is time for those follies to grow and I pray that you have a successful IVF : ) Good LUCK!
Avatar m tn Hi, I just did an IVF w/ Dr. Troche in Glendale and he is also very good. I am 6 wks pregnant and still have to do progesterone and estradiol shot. I think they are very throrough in the treatment and their number is 602-993-8636. The clinic is West Valley Fertility. Why don't you have a consultation and decide. Good luck.
Avatar f tn 05ml a day, and I think it is better. But the 1st IVF I still had a BFP, it just ended in chemical pregnancy. . .Anyway maybe talk to your RE about going down on the lupron. Good luck!! I really hope it turns out to be an ok cycle with a BFP for you. We are pretty close in stim days. I am on 150 of Bravelle in the am, and then 75 of menopur and 75 of fostimon at night.. . I will keep reading for your updates. . .good luck!
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...
1222208 tn?1307696161 Hi, my numbers were FSH 7.84 and Estradiol 53.9 in Aug 2009 when first tested. They were FSH 9.7, Estradiol 33, and LH 6.4 when I got tested in Jan of this year. Got pregnant on 2nd month of trying. Found some other results: TSH 1.09, FT4 1.26, and Prolactin 5.63. I'm 42 1/2 now. Good luck to everyone! SSBD!
Avatar f tn Hello, we did a fresh IVF 01/16 and I did my blood test 8dp5dt came back 332 and 10dp5dt came back 501. The nurse called and left me a message saying so sorry that this cycle is not going as we planned. I am waiting to hear back but from what I see my levels went up...what am I missing?????? Please help!!!
Avatar f tn Hi i've undergone my 1st IVF, i'm 8 weeks pregnant and just wondering if i really need all this medicine from my doctor. I've ask the nurse and she said that i have to continue all of this medicine until delivery.
Avatar n tn Estrogen stays around in the body much more than progesterone does. My estrogen was in twice-weekly shots, and when I asked my doctor why they prescribed that I take them Wednesday evening and Sunday evening (clearly not exactly the halfway point in a given week, it was an every third day, every fourth day schedule) I was told there was still residual estrogen from the last shot even by the fourth day.
738822 tn?1264908407 Is it normal to continue to take Estradiol after finding you are pregnant after doing IVF? I had to get a refill on the estradiol requested by my doctor but I noticed on the cautions label it said "Do Not Take This Med If Pregnant"? Is this normal?
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?
