20922415 tn?1661860103 If pregnancy occurs, progesterone is produced in the placenta, and levels remain elevated throughout the pregnancy. The combination of high estrogen and progesterone levels suppresses further ovulation during pregnancy. Progesterone also encourages the growth of milk-producing glands in the breast during pregnancy. High progesterone levels are believed to be partly responsible for symptoms of premenstrual syndrome (PMS), such as breast tenderness, feeling bloated, and mood swings.
594914 tn?1245263684 Hey what is the purpose for estrogen meds. My Doc put me on them and he said he wants me to start them next month if my cycle comes.... What good does this do for me?
Avatar f tn The estrogen is kicking in with a vengeance and my poor husband has to just grin and bare it all. I think after this pregnancy he will think carefully before attempting to make number 2. Are you experiencing the same?
Avatar f tn it is usually the progesterone that you are on for the first 6 weeks of pregnancy ..the estrogen normally stops when you get a positive result It would be nice to do it naturally, but I think a lot of clinics like to know that they are doing everything they can to control our cycle and that way know the best time to put the embie back .. good luck getting through your cycle! if you are worried, I would talk to your clinic and voice your concerns ..
Avatar m tn All I know is that after you get pregnant you can use an ovulation monitor as a pregnancy test since it can tell an increase just like when you ovulate. I'm not sure how soon after ovulation it works though.
Avatar f tn I recently took fertility drugs (Follistim,Menopur,Lupron) during March 5-13. My RE stopped meds due to low estrogen(33). Since then I have new RE she wants to detox my system of the meds which fine with me. I should of already had my monthly cycle. On April 3rd she put me on Provera 20mg for 10 days and I still have no period she did blood test on April 21st Estrogen(73) Progest(9) she told me to wait 10 days to see if I have period if not take pregnancy test.
216278 tn?1308861082 Of course, I am starting to second guess everything (typical start of my tww) Does anyone know if this could raise my estrogen TOO much, thus hurting my chances for pregnancy? I have posted a picture of the graph of my hormone levels when they did the full panel and I put the numbers in a journal to correspond with it! I know that the acupuncturist and OB thought my levels were low, but now I am worried that if I raise the estrogen too much, if it will prevent a pregnancy!
Avatar f tn I'm not too familiar with Cerophine, but I was on clomid for 5 months, 3 of those being with iui, and every time my lining wasn't too thick. It was around 8 mm at ovulation time. When conception happens, you want as thick a lining as you can get b/c it's what the baby needs to attach to for the pregnancy to continue. The thicker your lining, the better chance of pregnancy.
Avatar f tn I'm am 15 days late and 3 home pregnancy test said negative. Is it's a chance I am still pregnant?
Avatar n tn Hi Sandra, Granulosa cell tumors produce estrogen and estrogen levels are a good marker to evaluate for recurrence. I am not aware of any studies showing that estrogen causes these tumors to grow. I have pasted a very nice review from emedicine below. best wishes Background Three major types of ovarian neoplasms are described, with epithelial cell tumors (70%) comprising the largest group of tumors.
Avatar n tn I am so nervous about stopping my progesterone and estrogen. I was told to stop at 10 weeks. I'm 8 weeks 4 days todat. Has anybody stopped and how has the pregnancy progressed Baby is growing perfect with a heart rate of 172 yesterday.
Avatar f tn I've been on birth control (ortho tricyclen) for two months now. Last week me and my boyfriend had sex on 20th but my cycle ended on the 18th. He pulled out because we didn't use a condom but I took the plan b contraceptive the same day some hours later. Am I ok for the most part?
Avatar n tn I am 10 days post IVF transfer using donor eggs. 2 days after transfer my estrogen was over 1000. 1 week after it was below 600 and 9 days after it was below 400. I am really stressing. My progesterone has gone up each time. I am taking 2 mg Estradiol 3 times per day and am now on the patches changing them every day. Any ideas? Does this mean I am not pregnant?
Avatar f tn In november I had an ovary removed because i had a cyst that twisted it. Currently I am taking estrogen and progesterone, and have had my first period since the surgery.I know my chances of getting pregnant are less than 10%, I also have a high FSH level. If I continue with this hrt and get pregnant, will the 10 days of progesterone force me to misscarry, or is there a chance I could sustain the pregnancy? I have also done treatments with injections, clomid, DHEA, and IUI.
Avatar f tn Ranges can vary a bit by lab. However, they should not be radically different. Estradiol, estrone, and estriol are forms of estrogen with estradiol and estrone being the primary (and maybe only) systemic forms of estrogen. My lab's ranges show a max non-pregnancy and non-menopausal value of estradiol to be 498 pg/mL and estrone 268 pg/mL. Estradiol can exceed 4300 in the first trimester of pregnancy. And post-menopausal levels are less than 54 and less than 65, respectively.
Avatar f tn I want to ask what brand and name of birth control pill best for breastfeesding mom?
Avatar f tn My doctor told me to tAke four estrogen patches every other day plus 2mg estradiol tablet every day to increase my estrogen. He said it should be 300. Esteogen is counter indicated for pregnancy- causes birth defects in children- says right on the label to not take whole pregnant! Does anyone know what their estrogen level was on day of transfer and did doctor recommend taking estrogen? Thanks so much for any help you can give me!
Avatar n tn m not waiting for the results. It cuts estrogen production by 95%. All three of my cancers were estrogen-dependent. Gimme that Aromasin!
Avatar n tn Is it common for the cancers to be estrogen positive in one breast and estrogen negative in the other
546318 tn?1328193635 If I am pregnant should my estrogen levels be higher than at time of ovulation or is it normal for them to go slightly lower? Any replies much appreciated! It's so confusing as they say estrogen causes low temp and pregesterone rises it, so you would think estrogen stays lower if preg, but someone told me that your estrogen levels should get higher if pregnant than they were at ovulation...
Avatar f tn How is your estrogen and your DHEA-S? When your doc tests your testosterone, does he test bio-available testosterone, and does the doc test sex binding hormones, LH, FSH, to get the entire pic of your androgens and how your body is using the testosterone? Estrogen and testosterone and very very closely related - so it could be that your testosterone is simply converting over to estrogen instead of staying as testosterone. This cannot be controlled really - it just happens.
587083 tn?1327120262 With menopause your body stops making estrogen. Eating soy products seems to boost the estrogen a bit, but is that good? I was a regular consumer of soy milk, tofu, edamame and flax seed after menopause. After my diagnosis of breast cancer (estrogen positive) my oncologist recommended I avoid soy products because even the weak phytoestrogens may stimulate cancer cells. Research is not conclusive but better to be safe. As the addage goes, 'all things in moderation.
Avatar m tn Endometriosis feed off estrogen. The estrogen-dependent endo lesions, if left unchecked, will begin to create their own estrogen. I do want to clarify that the pill or any other form of HRT does not prevent the Endometriosis from growing. The reason it is used is to help stop the pain by stopping the periods. I was on a low dose BCP (Marvelon) for 8 yrs continuously and did help with my pain. However it still continued to grow even after deep excision surgery.
Avatar n tn after that pregnancy symptoms were gone. After my confirmed fail, I asked the doctor if my estrogen levels were low. Doctor: "Oral estrogen levels are not reflected in the blood"..."its not like suppositories or patches"...."your estrogen level was higher than 96 since you are taking it orally"...and your level was 244 the day of transfer".....
