Common Questions and Answers about Estrogen for ovulation

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.
this is best achieved by metformin, 2000 mg per day, and clomid, given for five days per month at the lowest dose which will induce ovulation. once you know you are ovulating, you should stay at the same dose of clomid until you conceive. if you go above the minimum dose of clomid needed for ovulation, fertility actually can decline, and rate of miscarriage can increase. if you don't get pregnant after the first, second or third cycle of an ovulatory dose of clomid, don't despair.
I had a friend who was on clomid and estrogen (clomid helped her get pregnant, but thinned her lining, so the estrogen helped counter that), then she went on progesterone as soon as she got a bfp.

"During the reproductive years, the pituitary gland in the brain generates hormones that cause a new egg to be released from its follicle each month. As the follicle develops, it produces estrogen, which causes the lining of the uterus to thicken.
Theres is many treatments for endo, the "pill" for one or just progestin, did you have a lap for diagnosis?
My retrieval is scheduled for tomorrow morning at 10:30am. I triggered last night at 10:30pm. For the past day and a half though, I've been getting a ton of the egg white cervical mucous. I'm so nervous that I'm going to accidently ovulate before retrieval. Is the egg white cervical mucous (EWCM) normal during the IVF cycle? I've heard we get EWCM because of elevated estrogen levels, which anyone going through IVF obviously has, but I just want to make sure.
If your ovulation is normal why is the doctor recommending Clomid? Usually it is recommended for ovulation problems. It can lower estrogen level, reduce your CM, thin your endometrial lining and cause your ovulation time to shift in your cycle. It also increases the risk of multiple births. My doctor wants me to start it if I don't ovulate on my own this month, but I have amenorrhea due to anovulation, so it is probably required for me to conceive.
I'm sorry about your cancelled cycle. You will probably still ovulate on yopur own (if you normally do). I would use OPK's or an Ov. monitor to make sure. Did your RE say he was going to change your protocol for your next IVF attempt?
Your estrogen does continue to increase during the first part of your cycle and hits a peak right before ovulation. The estrogen is needed to help build the lining and it also helps improve the cervical mucus. I'm not sure how much of an impact a low level has on day 3, as the levels are generally much lower then anyway. I guess it all depends on how much it increases as you get closer to ovulation. Good luck to you!
t make sense that it has been going on for several days now if it was in fact ovulation spotting. I did look it up online, however, and it seems to be fairly normal; unless it is very heavy. But since you're trying to get pregnant, I would probably suggest that you call and tell your doctor about it, especially if it continues in future cycles...just in case your hormone levels are off. Hopefully it's just an "off" cycle this month.

ve read on plenty of forums of women have outbreaks during ovulation. Estrogen levels are higher during ovulation, and there are studies showing that estrogen is linked to herpes. This is why women seem to have herpes more than men. It is just that women present more than men do because we have more estrogen. If I don't take the Valtrex, the outbreaks progress to oozing and crusting over. I really don't see what else this could be.
If this is a recurrrent issue for you, it can usually be corrected with fertility meds in the follicular phase (before ovulation)...either with an estrogen supplement or an ovulation inducing medication, since both will increase your estrogen levels.
I would definitely call and check with your doctor, though, to make sure you know for sure what the number was.
Good luck!
Ferning and mucous have been around forever, and simply are not very accurate and timing ovulation - if they were we would not have had to invent more accurate tests such as urine ovulation prediction. If you feel you must time ovulation, I would suggest your efforts would be more fruitful using a relatively inexpensive ($35-$40) urine ovulation prediction kit, and start testing on or about cycle day 11. Have intercourse the day the urine test is positive, and the day after.
FSH signals your body to start the process of maturing eggs for ovulation. The eggs are contained inside a follicle where they will grow and mature until ovulation occurs. As the eggs grow the follicles enlarge and produce estrogen. High levels of estrogen in your body triggers a release of LH, Luteinizing Hormone. This is also known as an LH surge. When this happens it causes the mature egg to burst from the follicle. This is called ovulation.
