Hi ladies,
While I am quite a veteran of IVF cycles, this is the first time anyone has mentioned E2 results to me. I am 42, and doing my 7th cycle in attempt for a sibling for my daughter who was conceived 5 years ago via IVF/PGD.
This cycle has been nuts. In the past I was a great responder. However, this cycle, my first since last year that ended in m/c, hasn't been so good even though I have a low FSH. They hit me with much higher doses of meds which concerned me b/c I usually respond quick, and did this time as well. Today was my 6th day on stims, actually 5.5 bc I hadn't taken my night time dose yet and they are telling me that I am going to trigger on Saturday. I only have 4 big follies on the right and 2 on the left with 3 others under size 11.
My question is on day 3 of stims my E2 was 175. The nurse said it should be around 4000-5000 when you trigger, but when she called today, mine was only 800. What does that mean? They told me to stay on my meds and to come in on Saturday for another look.
Any thoughts?
