Why oh why do they have to say that?!?!

The nurse at my RE office said last week when I got my E2 level back, well....we have not seen much success unless a person has a level of at least 500.    I had 468 with 1 follie at 22, one at 19 and one at 17.

Ok, so here I am on day 3 of the 2ww, freaking out about it.    What the heck, do you think that she would have said something a little more encouraging?

Okay, vent over thanks for listening

That was a ridiculous statement.  I have gotten pregnant twice with an e2 level below 500.  All it takes is one follie, and typically one mature follie puts your e2 between 150-200.  Good luck!

I asked my RE at the 2nd IUI about my E2 levels the previous 2 days and what they told her.  My levels were like 650 and 670, and I had 3 fully mature eggs (over 18).  She said those numbers only told her how close I was to ovulating--nothing about success in terms of E2.

Good luck

Like there's not enough to worry about in the 2ww! Sounds like you had some good follies! Don't listen to the negativity! GL!
