estrogen dropping during stims?

katib77

Any IVF ladies have any insight into e2 levels dropping during stims? Is it normal on ganirelix? I've read some stating that on google but others with stories of getting cancelled from it. Wednesday my e2 level was 1108 and then I started the ganirelix and next day it was 860 and today its 803. Hoping it raises tomorrow but looking for any "yes this is normal" stories.

I'd ask the IF board but don't want to flood them with questions since I'm new over there where as here you all know me and there is enough of a cross over from boards I thought I'd still get some answers.

post and run as I try to get some sleep before my 530 alarm in order to drive to appointment hour away tomorrow.

I don't have a concrete answer for you, Katib, but am hoping for the best for you! I took Cetrotide with my last inject cycle (and will take it again with this IVF cycle) and I think it's the same principle as ganirelix. Unfortunately for me, my E2 still went up and I over responded so IUI#4 was canceled. It sounds like your meds are doing their job, so hopefully your smaller follies can catch up and you'll get lots of eggs at ER. I'm rooting for you!!!

I know it's supposed to suppress LH to keep you from ovulating but thr estrogen not going up os just concerning. FX todays BW shows some increase.

Yay!  Estrogen finally went back up!  It's 1199 this morning and I'm allowed to skip monitoring tomorrow so I assume I will trigger Monday for Wednesday ER.
