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.
Avatar n tn i have been reading and i believe that estrogen plays a very important role in conceiving! am i wrong? do levels get higher throughout your cycle? has anyone had troubles conceiving with low levels? . can someone take estrogen supplements? we've been ttc for over three years and i have had the fertily workup done back then and there is no blockage in my tubes, or anything.
Avatar n tn what is the role of progesterone in invitro fertilization? I just had a transfer done 3 days ago. I have read that progesterone is not supposed to be given while pregnant or while trying to get pregnant, yet, my doctor has me injecting myself with 1 ml per day, plus vaginal inserts of endometrin four times per day. Is this normal procedure?
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 I got the results of my bloodwork today and my FSH is 6.34, LH - 2.46 and Estradiol 96.3. Can anyone say if this looks good especially the estradiol?
Avatar f tn Can you check these levels yourself or is this something you have to go in and have a doctor do? Only curious because I've been considering going in to seek professional advice too. I'm 29, TTC for 6 months and no signs of ovulation or baby at all. Never been on BC, had a miscarriage or an abortion. I'm curious what my estradiol and FsH levels are. Best wishes to you, sprinkling baby dust your way!
Avatar m tn 2- As a fast remedy, since we do not have plan B - One step pill in the country we live in; she took 4 pills from Yasmin pill- (combination of Ethinyl Estradiol and Drospirenone) exactly after 30 hours from the incident followed by another 4 pills after another 8 hours, does this help?
Avatar f tn 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 n tn 20%). The results page says my estradiol is out of range. it says 10L with a range of 13-54 pg/mL. Does 10 Liters convert to 10,000 mL which is 185times the normal maximum range. I didn't have cortisol measured. My Dr. said Testosterone was fine. He never mentioned anything about the estradiol level. He suggested I had depression. I've had chronic anxiety but don't feel depressed. We've tried a few SNRI's. It's been 2 1/2 months since tests results.
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 I was told it is unlikely this pregnancy will result in a baby. Due to slow raising numbers. She is now 13.
Avatar f tn I had PCOS problem 3 years back but now my periods were normal, I also had a history of a miscarriage and tubal pregnancy along with a successful pregnancy.

216278 tn?1308861082 Above is correct they are to be above 10 to maintain a pregnancy....I came in at 11 at 6 wks pregnant and was on supplements for 7 wks until the placenta took over production of progestrone.
Avatar f tn Hi, everybody. My name's Kristin. I really, really hope someone here can help me. I'm terrified. I'm twenty-four, but for the last eight months or so, I've been having menopausal symptoms. My doctor had my FSH, LH, progesterone, and estradiol levels tested twice. Here are my results: FSH first test: 6.2 second test: 6.8 LH first test: normal apparently, but I didn't see what exactly it was second test: 7.
1493378 tn?1288707991 i still don't know what to think right now, i'm so stressed and worried that this cycle might be cancelled...with my 1st round (failed) of IVF, my estradiol level was 21 pg/ml & my prolactin level was above normal, but the doctor prescribed dostinex for elevated prolactin..now my estradiol level was <21 pg/ml & prolactin level again is above normal...i'm so confused & gettin' nervous right now...
Avatar f tn Also, if you have Pinterest, you can just type in fit or healthy (ect.) pregnancy and you will get more results than you could have imagined. I love using Pinterest!

Avatar f tn That was 2 years ago and since then I have had a lot of stress and upset in my life. I have recently started with stabbing pains in my right breast again and for a few months now my joints, especially my lower back have been so painful. I have a new Dr who has read up on my condition tho and has said that there is a link between IGM and joint pain! However, he also thinks I have started early menopause too, so I'm now thinking that my IGM may flare up?
Avatar m tn There are some hereditary conditions in which males have elevated estradiol levels. Also some endocrine syndromes. MOST of the time, the excess estrogen is produced in excess adipose tissue. Usually estrogen is converted into testosterone, but in some cases, this fails to happen. This is the type of case in which something like Aromasin might help.
Avatar f tn I am 53 and have been in menopause for over a year. No oeriod in 10 months. I have recently gained about 8 pounds in the last two months, change in bowel habits, sore breasts. Just been feeling that my period is coming but it doesn't. Called my doctor to check my hormone levels. My estradiol went from less then 15 to 454. Not on any hormone therapy except for OTC Estroven. Hot flashes have stopped maybe because my estrogen has gone nuclear.
Avatar f tn Correct, its presence indicates a pregnancy. I didn't know it was necessary to create a pregnancy, I thought it was an offshoot of pregnancy (I was told it is produced by the placenta). Some people take it in order to lose weight, but that would be a weird thing to do to someone trying to get pregnant (or support an early pregnancy). How much does the hCG cost? Do you get an itemized list?
Avatar n tn All serum levels in my basic chemistry panel, CBC plus differential, thyroid panel, and urine analysis were normal except my estradiol. It was 84 with a lab range with an upper limit of 54. My testosterone was normal at 630 and my DHEA was normal at 265. I am thin and I have no masses on the testicles that can be felt. But, i am nervous about the elevated estradiol. My doctor seems not alarmed and will be repeating the test.
Avatar f tn I haven't got my testing done yet but I'm probably around 3 weeks. I stopped taking birth control in October and haven't had a regular period sense, I think I had a false pregnancy or miscarriage 3 1/2weeks ago. I've had unprotected sex sense the day after and have felt completely pregnant even more than before and progressively more the last few days. We are hoping pregnant and I honestly feel it so much.
Avatar n tn Does this mean it could be caused from ovarian cancer or are my labs just out of whack because of estradiol dose being too high??
216278 tn?1308861082 I wore Estradiol patches - actually several of them - before getting pregnant in order to thicken my lining in preparation for conception (we did IVF). I doubt that wearing the patch would hinder your chances - I would think it would do the opposite but I'm no medical expert. As I said, I wore the patches for a different reason but I would think the result would be the same. What does your doctor say?
Avatar n tn Much worse then pms. Could this be a side effect of the estradiol, or could it be pregnancy effects. I go for a pregnancy test on 2/25. When I called and asked my dr. about these side effects I was told it is just a reaction to all the hormones inside my body, and that my progesterone level was excellent# to hold a pregnancy. Was told to take tylenol, but it does nothing. Has anyone else taken estradiol after in iui and experiences these reactions?
