E2 at Lupron trigger?

FloridaSun82 · December 2013

My doctor had me start taking ganirelix a few days ago, and my E2 is now about 2800. However, they want me to go another day or so before trigger. He's planning on using the Lupron trigger. Anyone else who did the Lupron trigger know what their E2 was at trigger?

what day of stims are u on? i triggered on Day 8 of stims with 20iu of lupron. on day 8 my E2 was 2798, i had over 20 follicles. and the day after i triggered it was 2900ish. havent checked it since then. but i do feel like its probably not that high anymore because after ER i had only very MILD ohss symptoms that faded away rather quickly, aside from the bit of bloating, which my nurse said its still from my ovaries not shrinking back down to normal as it takes about a week i think.

I'm not much help... My RE ordered a Lupron trigger and HCG for IVF#1. I guess the Lupron trigger was just in case my E2 levels were at risk for OHSS. I didn't need it. My E2 levels peaked at about 2,500 at the time of trigger. Good luck!

I triggered with both a low dose of hcg and lupron. The reason being was that I was going to be in OHSS and they had to do a freeze all. From what i understood from the nurse they use lupron as a trigger if you are going to have issues with OHSS and are going to freeze everything. But I was all hormonal so I'm not sure i understood everything she said.

Sorry, I can't answer your question because my RE rarely tells me my E2 level. IVF #1 they ordered me both an HCG and Lupron trigger. They had me use the Lupron trigger because they were concerned about OHSS. I had to go the day after the trigger for bw to make sure that it worked.
