What were your baseline lab results?

I got baseline labs yesterday after 6 weeks of active BCP and a lupron overlap. My estrogen was below 5, LH 0.2 & FSH 1.8. I am extra suppressed. The idea was to suppress my LH and so I'm elated about that, but my estrogen is super low. I am wondering if I should ask my doc to start at a higher dose of follistim. What were your baseline labs?

My clinic doesn't even check a baseline estrogen, just u/s to check for cysts and AFC.

My clinic only does an ultrasound and E2 levels.  My E2 was 39 at baseline for both IVFs.

My E2 was 29, and that was after almost 9 weeks of continuous birth control pills.

Eta- they didn't check my LH or FSH at baseline.

my E2 was 48.99, LH  6.97 and FSH 5.31. this was after 4 weeks of BCP. for IVF 1, the numbers were about the same, beside my FSH was 3.9 and LH was 6.5. and there is a huge difference between the two cycles. I started off with double the dosage this time around.

E2 was <20 and progesterone was <0.2. I didn't have FSH or LH tested. This was after 2 weeks of BCP.

Apparently they don't measure below those values, but there is a good chance my E2 was quite low since it is normally around 21 at baseline without BCP. My ovaries were a bit slow to wake up, but when they did, boy did they make up for it.

I haven't had LH ran in awhile but my E2, FSH and AMH were checked in August in prep for my November cycle E2 was 27, FSH was 5.1 and AMH was 2.26.  My E2 was checked again at my baseline appointment after a few weeks of BCP and a week of lupron and it must have been adequately surpressed since I didn't get a call about it.  I didn't ask what my baseline E2 was.  My clinic doesn't draw any other hormones at baseline.

Hi there! I don't know if this helps but I had my very first baseline lab last week. DH has 16k sperm count so we're going right into IVF. FSH is high at 15.9, low follicles. Slightly below normal thyroid which I'm now taking Synthroid. I had my saline U/S today and everything is normal. The said my follicle is at 17.5 and should be ovulating tomorrow night. However my AMH is at 1.0. I'm 30 and the RE said my eggs are at the age of someone in their late 30's so we have to move fast with aggressive treatment. Once I get a positive on my OPK I have to schedule lab work for my progesterone and to make sure I'm ovulating.

Thanks everyone. I don't know why my estrogen was so low at baseline. I don't know if I'm extra sensitive to the bcp or what. I never have been on it before so maybe that's why? No idea. Only time will tell how it goes.
