Has anyone had their stims lowered in an IVF cycle and did your estrogen drop when this happened?

In one of my IVF cycles, they lowered my stim dosage and my estrogen dropped. I read that an estrogen drop could mean premature lutenization, or it could mean that you were not getting enough FSH drugs. If your E2 dropped after lowering your stims, what did your clinic do? What did they say this means and what was the outcome of your cycle?

    My stims were decreased on day 5, which was my first monitoring appt. My e2 went from baseline of 33 to almost 400, they were worried about over stimulating me because it jumped so high so quickly. After decreasing my estrogen kind went up and down so they played with my dosage everyday. They did not seem worried, the drop in estrogen wasn't very significant.i had 10 eggs retrieved, 7 fertilized and 5 survived. We transferred 2 yesterday so I'm in the waiting period to find out if we were successful.

    If it drops a lot that means premature lutenization has occurred. In a natural cycle, estrogen drops when you are about to ovulate. If it drops just a little or has a bit of a stall it's not really a problem. Sometimes it just won't go any higher for some ladies and if doesn't mean anything.

    Mine were lowered (gonal-f from 225 to 150 and microdose HCG t.from 100 to 50) and my e2 was over 5000 right before my ER.
