Avatar m tn I have already ovulated last week according to monitor but it keeps telling me to test. When I do test it comes out low fertility. If I am pregnant would estrogen be high enough to be detected as a high value instead of a low value?
548091 tn?1348947013 I was taking both + BeePolen then my Doc told me that my estrogen level is high. Do you think that those played a role to increase my estrogen level?
Avatar f tn nt make sense at all, and the doctor was so cold and blunt.. My daughter Sarah had another blood test today and will have an ultrasound tomorrow to rule out overian cysts, cancer.. Spoke to a practioner today, she gave us alot of info on ways to increase estrogen/progesterone, and we are a little more hopeful now,.
492936 tn?1244651570 I was wondering if anyone here has heard of the fertility diet and if you have gotten the book or followed it, gotten pregnant with its aid or not? I have an IVF cycle starting up next month and want to increase my odds. First one failed.
974298 tn?1324833193 I used to take flaxseed everyday earlier as i had read it helps to improve frtility but then my new RE asked me to stop with the flaxseed after looking at my test results becos he said flaxseed can cause estrogen dominance and hinder ovulation... Good idea would be to check wth a nutrionist or a dr i guess!
1654177 tn?1319838494 t think there have been any studies on if tx effects fertility rates. I do know that interferon inhibits estrogen production and that your periods can get a little messed up during tx. When do you start tx? If you are really worried you could get some eggs frozen if there is enough time.
Avatar n tn Hi! I have low estrogen and normal FSH (I'm 38, though). My course of action is to wear an estrogen patch from 3 days after ovulation to 12 days after ovulation (since that's when mine is dropping off). I have heard of (and tried it once, but didn't like how I felt) that the patch can also be worn during CD8-12 to help with low estrogen. My acupuncturist told me that the patch is the most similar to actual estrogen (versus pills) so I pushed for that!
Avatar f tn m ending another cycle of Femara and believe that I have cysts again. What is the purpose of taking the fertility meds if the cycle is doomed to end in cysts? I do ovulate on my own; the meds were to produce more and better quality eggs.
296340 tn?1336164001 Many of the herbs that increase fertility have been found to possess natural forms of estrogen and other pharmaceuticals routinely used to treat pregnancy issues in synthetic forms. The names of some of these herbs, like black cohosh, are fairly familiar, but others, like red clover and chasteberry are less well known. How do Fertility Herbs Work?

Avatar f tn I have been dieting since Jan 1 and the foods that I needed to eat were from CT Weight and Wellness. All items were Soy Protein. Is it possible that this can be a cause of my not getting pregnant? I am wondering how true the article was. Thank you.
Avatar f tn s it declines more rapidly until it ceases. During perimenopause our hormone levels (Estrogen, Progesterone, and Testosterone) decrease, and ovulation slowly begins to come to an end... If you're interested in becoming pregnant, my advice would be to start keeping track of your ovulation and menstrual cycles now. Also consult your Ob/Gyn if you have any concerns. The healthier and better shape you're in will definitely influence any possible pregnancy and transition into menopause...
Avatar n tn It is the most beneficial thing especially since treatment for this disease is so limited and you are dealing with fertility issues. Good luck and keep us posted about your next dr. visit.
1052633 tn?1311872678 t make sense. i recently switched to another fertility specialist with more experience and when she looked @ my records from the other office, she informed me that my fsh levels are fine! it was my estrogen levels that are high. so what i was wondering was if anybody knew if by me having high estrogen levels, is that going to be an issue for the IVF procedure? i dont know if that's going to affect my ability to have a successful IVF procedure.
1055824 tn?1387073424 I did just order Fertiltea to try this month. I have heard of the fertility blend supplements and have also heard good things, but have not used and don't know anyone who has used it?
Avatar f tn My Re also kept me on until week 12. I was on progesterone and estrogen until I was released from him. I think it is good for you to continue to be monitored by your RE. My OB also liked that the RE monitored me for so long bc then they know it is definitely a sustainable pregnancy.
Avatar f tn s cycle to prepare the lining to receive and nourish a fertilized egg so it can develop into a fetus. If fertilization does not occur, estrogen and progesterone levels drop sharply, the lining of the uterus breaks down and menstruation occurs.
Avatar n tn Hi there! The best forum to place this question would be the Fertility Forum! I've notified MedHelp and they may move the topic to Fertility Forum so you can get the best answers to your question.
Avatar f tn Anyone knows any good vitamins to natural regulate cycle and strengthen fertility?
Avatar n tn It is not unheard of for athletes that do not get their period to have osteoporosis or osteopenia and stress fractures because their bones are not getting the estrogen they need for good bone strength and development. I highly recommend that you see your gynecologist to make sure the only reason that you are not getting your period is that you are underweight and if there is no other reason then that to get on some sort of estrogen replacement or birth control pills.
126702 tn?1240888250 This then gets the body into menopause and then i start puregon injectables (gonal f) and then ovidrel and then IUI. I just spoke to the clinic and they dont want me to start the nasal spray -as it looks like I havent ovulated - blood test done on CD20 at 9am. I detected an LH surge last Tuesday (19th Feb). Another blood test in a week..... Thanks guys!
Avatar f tn I think you should get a second opinion. Did they also test your estrogen and progesterone levels? Some women do stimulation drugs combined with IUI and achieve pregnancy this way. Because you are so young it would pay to seek another opinion. Best wishes to you.
Avatar f tn t get pregnant that she was goin g to prescribe me estrogen pills to thicken my uterine walls. I did the clomid cycle and estrogen pills. Today I started my progesterone pills. Saturday I started experience lower back pain. I think I ovulated early also. I usually have ovulation on 16 day of luteal phase. I want to know if these symptoms I am having are side effects of medications? I'm currently taking. I forgot to mention I'm diagnosis with PCOS and currently lost 33 lbs.
Avatar n tn I was reaading the book Taking Charge of Your Fertility and it dawned on me that this might be our fertility issue. Apparently if prolactin levels are too high it inhibits estrogen making. You need estrogen to make the cervical mucus to concieve. Does anyone else have this problem or any suggestions or comments? I am going to the DR. on Tuesday and would love to be well prepared. Are there any easy remedies?
