Avatar n tn I was taking 125 units, cd 9 I had 4 folilcles between 11 and 13, and my estradiol was 178. so they had me cut back to 100 units, so i wouldn't have all 4 mature. today cd12, my estradiol was down to 55, all 4 follicles are still the same size. now they want me to stay at 100 units and come back wednesday. does that make sense? Is all hope lost for this cycle. anyone have similiar experience.amu advice would help.
Avatar f tn I am 36 yrs old and been married for 3 years, has blocked fallopian tubes and endometriosis. I was suppressed by suprefact at 50 units for 2 weeks and was decrease to 20 units on my third week. 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.
Avatar n tn Perhaps testing your blood for LH would have been helpful. It is pretty standard to start at lupron 10 units and drop to 5 units when fertility drugs were started. This is one of the most common protocols that we use. You were on high doses of fertility drugs and judging by your response, which was not too much and not too little, it seems to me that your MD picked the correct dose of medication.
Avatar n tn i am currently on day 13. no mature follicles still. started at 50 units per day. on monday went to 75 units per day. they want me to come back on monday for another ultrasound. but i'm like can i be on injectables that long, and they said sure. but why not increase the dose if its obviously not working. i don't even have a follicle that is 10mm yet. all are around 8mm. oh and i do have pcos. any advice would be great.
Avatar n tn Hi all, quick question. i am currently taking 125 units of follistim and on cycle day 13 today. yesterday went for us and labs, saw 3 follicles, largest 17, smallest 15. estradiol level was 1146. they want me to come back again monday for another us and labs. with estradiol level that high, doesnt that mean something is mature and i should trigger. i do have pcos, and don't want all 4 to release. any thoughts or ideas?
604185 tn?1233960857 I am on Gonal-f 150 units and since Thursday night along with Lupron 10 units. I went for blood work today and estradiol level was 80. Doctor asked me to continue with the same dosage and go for blood work on Tuesday. Why is my RE not being aggressive?? Will I get enough eggs?? Has anyone gone through the same protocol and had good number of eggs in the end?
Avatar f tn This is my first month on Clomid, 50mg cycle days 3-7. I was also on Estradiol cycle days 8-12 and am now on progesterone suppositories cycle day 17 until I get my period or a positive pregnancy test. I had an HCG trigger shot 10,000 units (Profasi, Pregnyl) on cycle day 15. This is also my first month using fertilityfriend to chart my basal body temps. I have attached a link to my chart so that you can see my progress.
Avatar f tn The reference ranges that the lab uses says that my TSH is in range, but upon my research I have found that that may not be the case. Also, my Estradiol level seems low to me. Could someone look at my test results and give me some feed back? Thanks. Vitamin D,2 -- 23 ng/mL FSH -- 10.7 mlU/mL TSH -- 3.
Avatar f tn 3x150IU, 2x225IU , 2x300IU (total 7days). Sonogram and blood work every two/three days showed that follicles were not growing and E2 (estradiol) either dropped to 21 (twice) or went up but never above 29. Please help! Thank you.
398459 tn?1262186144 the first protocol was lupron, followed by 300 units of gonalf once daily (which was increased mid-cycle to 450) and low dose HCG. this didn't work. my new protocol is: BC pills for 14 days, with lupron starting on day 13. on day 1 of menstruation, i begin ganirelix injections (125 mcg) once per day and estrace (2 mg tab) once per day. this happens for days 1-7. then the fun starts...
Avatar f tn cells throughout the body take in DHEA and DHEAS and convert them into estradiol and testosterone. It is estimated that this "intracrine" process provides 70% of a young woman's total androgen effect." So, perhaps this is a contributor to the low testosterone level. Also, your Vitamin D is too low. Optimal is about 55-60. I also recommend that you test for Vitamin A, Vitamin B12 and ferritin. Vitamin A because of its potential effect on the acne.
374593 tn?1257879950 I always thought that the estradiol was to make sure your lining was thick enough for implantation. Because I now the drugs like clomid can thin your lining making it impossible for the egg to implant. I could be wrong though.
Avatar f tn How long after a confirmed pregnancy are you suppose to continue taking Estradiol? Just read on the internet that it can cause birth defects and I can't reach my doctor to confirm this.
Avatar f tn Finally from the ranges I am familiar with your estradiol is VERY low, while progesterone is actually a little high. But again this may depend on the units that are measured. I would recommend that you first concentrate on getting thyroid balanced, before you take on any changes in sex hormones. However with the surgical menopause, you may want to try to deal with both simultaneously. IF you can find a good hormone doctor. Which does NOT necessarily mean an endocrinologist.
Avatar n tn I am on 200 mg prometrium /5 mg estradiol, and metformin as well as tirosint. The prometrium and estradiol is for hot flashes. The metformin for prediabetes, couldn't get my a1c down, and tirosint for thyroid disease. My question is this...the prometrium and estradiol are causing my blood sugars to stay high, as well as make me very tired, as well as making me gain weight. I walk briskly at least 1 hour to 1 1/2 hour daily. I watch what I eat, low sugars, etc.
7649183 tn?1393014236 Menostar (estradiol transdermal system) 14 mcg per day - each 3.25 cm2 system contains 1 mg of estradiol. Vivelle-Dot® (estradiol transdermal system), 0.025 mg/day - each 2.5 cm² system contains 0.39 mg of estradiol USP for nominal* delivery of 0.025 mg of estradiol per day. Since the Menostar patch is applied once/weekly and contains 1 mg of estradiol, then that's around .14 mg/day (the data says .014 mg/day). The Vivelle-dot is applied twice/weekly and contains .
Avatar f tn As Helen72 said, everyone responds differently. I was on 900 units of gonalf (450 am and pm) for over 15 days. I got 3 mature follicles, two fertilized, but unfortunately none of them implanted. Good luck!
Avatar n tn It is hard to predict. The higher levels of estrogen may promote the midcycle LH surge, which is what urine OPKs look for. If this happens, the surge might come a couple of days earlier. This is called positive feedback. On the other hand, the higher estrogen levels my inhibit LH (this is called negative feedback) delaying the surge. You will need to test for ovulation to find out.
Avatar f tn m in my late 30s - the first month I was tested, my estradiol was 374 and my FSH 5.2. The next month my estradiol dropped to 87 and my FSH increased to 10.1. I'm at a loss of whether I should keep trying or just say that a baby isn't in my cards. Anyone else heard of estradiol dropping hundreds of points in a single month?
