If you continue to...Your numbers are in no way low. If you continue to double your E2 will be over 2800 with 10 days of stims and there is nothing wrong with that. I was always obsessed with my E2 levels and always wished that they were high. Well, I got my wish this last cycle and hyperstimmed. I ended up having to stop stims all together and I was only able to trigger with a half dose of HCG. The day after ER, I was put on a medication to lower my E2 level to help with the OHSS. For 5 days I was worried sick that my transfer would be cancelled because of my high E2 level. So what I am trying to say is that your numbers are perfect right now. Also, try not to get too hung up on the number of follicles that they see. This last IVF we counted 12 follicles on day of trigger but we ended up retrieving 27! This happened to me one other IVF too.

I had a chat with the nurse this morning before my retrieval because I was feeling mine was very low at trigger (only 700 with 10 follicles). She said, that yes, it did seem low, but that I met the criteria for trigger, being at least 600, with at least for follicles, with 2 being 18 or over. What a low number can show is that some of the follicles might be empty, because each mature egg should produce 100-250 of estrogen. So, with 1471 at 8 follicles, it looks perfect to me! Interestingly enough, with my lower estrogen, and my 10 follicles, we still ended up with 12 eggs today! Of course, I still don't know how many are mature. Hang in there. It seems to me that you're doing just fine.

To me, your numbers look like they're rising appropriately and I can't wait to hear good news after your appointment tomorrow!Charlottehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13456928849826400461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9170406391173139430.post-45085235443122266692012-01-22T10:54:54.611-08:002012-01-22T10:54:54.611-08:00Sorry.
