Avatar f tn 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!!
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 There may not be enough progesterone made by the ovary during an IVF cycle, and so more progesterone is routinely given. Crinone vaginal gel, intramuscular progesterone, and Prometrium capsules are natural progesterone preparations which are safe to use during pregnancy. In woman with recurrent pregnancy loss heparin and baby aspirin are helpful to keep open the blood vessels in the placenta. Steroids may also be helpful since they act by inhibiting the cellular immune response.
Avatar n tn I am not sure about estrogen levels and how they supposed to vary but I was taking estrogen supplements after ivf transfer. So, you can definitely supplement. Good luck!
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 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. Your IVF program knows there success with going with the dominate or sacraficing it for the small cohort to grow. There is know exact science here, only tends and experience with an individual's personal response.
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar n tn 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.
Avatar f tn 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...
Avatar m tn My 5 day transfer (of 2 ok looking morula embryos) was on March 9. My doctor orders labs (progesterone, estradiol, and BHCG) during the 2ww. Just wondering if anyone else has had this done. Of course I am already bummed out because on March 11 (2 days after 5 day transfer) my beta was 7. I am assuming this was leftover from the trigger shot. They today (4 days after the 5 day transfer) my beta was 4. I was really hoping for an increase a.k.a. possible implantation. Is it too early???
400358 tn?1320234443 My first IVF cycle I had the same problem with my Estradiol. The Dr knows what he is doing. My Dr made me wait as well until my levels were where he was comfortable. I got PG that cycle. Sadly ended in MC @ 7 weeks, but that had nothing to do with it. If he had not made me wait I would not have even got PG. However I would have been so frustrated if he had not taken the time to tell me why he was making me wait.
1328473 tn?1335874467 We recently completed our first IVF cycle that resulted in a pregnancy but I m/c between 6-7 weeks. My RE did not have much info on why it happened. My Estrogen was 7800 at the time of retrieval, which I know is high. Can high estrogen levels cause my eggs to be bad and in turn result in the m/c?
Avatar f tn Day 6 of STIMS, estradiol levels 41 and only 3 follicles. Doctor increased my Gonal F from 225 to 300 IU and continued with Merional 150 IU and Decapeptyl 0.1mg. Has anyone else had these kind of results? This is my first round of IVF and I am so disappointed. The doctor had expected more follicles. My question is, by increasing the dose could more follicles produce at this stage since I'm already on Day 6?
Avatar f tn We did IUI last month but it was unsucessful. All levels are normal except estradiol which was above 80. Up untill two months ago she had LH surge every cycle. Now all of the sudden nothing. Last month no surge on opk but on ultrasound she had a good follicle so we did the IUI. Has anyone had success with preg when estradiol is high? If so we would love some advice.
398459 tn?1262186144 TSH 1.88, FSH 7.1, prolactin 24.4, and estradiol 46.4. My MD said after the first test that the results indicated decreased ovarian reserve due to the FSH level. After the second test, he said only that even though my FSH level was normal, it "still doesn't bode well for pregnancy". That is all that I was told. Any thoughts? How "abnormal" (or normal) are my results? Will IVF be an option for me? Thanks for the help...
1222208 tn?1307696161 Your FSH is great! (measures ovarian reserve). I think the other numbers are great, too! (not sure about prolactin) One of your tubes is blocked? That will decrease the chances somewhat, but plenty of women have conceived with one tube. At our age, though, we all have the time factor to consider, so IVF would be an excellent option. I know it's very expensive. We're considering it but I have no idea how we'd pay for it! I have a very high FSH. Last year it was 22!
Avatar f tn I am 40 years old, I just received a repeat FSH and it is 24.4 my estradiol level is 27.7. A year ago my CD4 FSH was only 9.9 but my estradiol was 80...what could cause such a reversal of results and what does the estradiol level mean in relation to the FSH level? I had an HSG which came back normal, I had an ultrasound done last year as well which during that time my RE saw an egg which he said looked healthy being ready to be released from my left ovary.
Avatar f tn You may still be having the effects of the medications that you took during the IVF cycle. It may take some time to completely clear it from your system. Sometimes it helps to be on period without any drugs or hormone manipulation to see where your body and hormones are naturally. If you are still experiencing hot flahses and vaginal dryness then you should check a cycle day 3 FSH, LH and estradiol to see if they are elevated meaning that there may be evidence of perimenopause.
Avatar f tn Hi i've undergone my 1st IVF, i'm 8 weeks pregnant and just wondering if i really need all this medicine from my doctor. I've ask the nurse and she said that i have to continue all of this medicine until delivery.
