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.
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!!
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...
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.
i was put on premarin after hytrectomy and i stayed on it for yeras but ran out of insurnce..so i just now at 50 got put on the low dose patch estradiol...i have been on anxiwty drugs for twenty years and was doing aoaky till a few years back so i wanted to see if the estrogen would help me...i need my sex drive back will it help with that and my mood and vagianl dryness...
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?
She recently saw her endocrinologist and was informed that her FSH and Estrodiol levels were extremely loW, her cortisol levels are normal. He did an MRI of the pituitary and found nothing and now wants her to go to her gyno because he can't seem to figure it out. Can anyone shed some light on what the cause could be, this has been a frustrating ordeal, please help!
The second time around, the doctor changed the meds, but I did not respond, and my estrogen levels were low. The cycle was cancelled. Now, I've started again, with a different protocol. My ultrasound was positive for follies, but once again, my levels were low. Not as low as the first time, but lower than what they would have hoped.
Has anyone had this issue with IVF? If so, did your levels turn around?
I'm sooo frustrated...I just don't know what to do!!!
Hi! I just received the results of my day 3 blood test and learned that my FSH is 12.1 and my Estradiol is at 20. I'm really nervous about the FSH level and was hoping for some insight regarding our chances of getting pregnant and what type of treatment options we have. Also, is there anything to worry about with the Estradiol number? I know it's low but is there such a thing as too low? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!! Thanks!
I did not stimulate well on my first IVF attempt because the Lupron oversuppressed me and my estradiol levels were always very low. I ended up having two blasts transferred (one was a grade 1 and one was a grade 1.5). On the third and fourth days after my transfer I became exhausted and hungry all the time. I also had implantation bleeding. Then my symptoms went away. I ended up having a chemical pregnancy.
I am now in the 2ww of my second IVF attempt.
Personalizing an IVF protocol is the art of this type of medicine. At 39 a key thing to start with is What is your cycle day 3 FSH (want it < 10) and What is your estradiol ( want it < 60). A mature follicle ready to ovulate has a estradiol level of about 200. EX: 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.
I'm sorry; you're right that I meant LH level, not FSH level. Clearly I am not a doctor! I appreciate your help and am wondering if this changes your answer? Also, do you think that the 500mg B6 supplement I've been taking could cause my LH and Estradiol levels to be low? Thanks so much!
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.
