TTC after 35

E2 Levels?

I hadmy blood drawn today.

I'm either on day 6 if you cound the spotting/period or day 5 if you cound the full period. My E2 levels today after 4 days of 150ml Follistim was 228

She lowered my dosage to 75ml tonight and tomorrow. Blood test and ultrasound on Wednesday..

Is that a good number? I read that mature follies are between 200-400 but would day 5/6 be to early for mature follies?

Re: E2 Levels?

  • It sounds like you might be responding really well to the meds, and that's why they're lowering the dosage. I think they usually like you to go between 8-12 days on stims to get mature follies. You'll likely be on the shorter end of that, so count yourself lucky! Good luck.

  • Sounds like your doing well, my guess would be that you have more than one follicle growing and that's why you are >200. I did IUI yesterday and was on 75u of follistim the whole time. My day 8 level was 238 (with 2 follies at 12) and day 10 was 951, I took Ovudril that day. On day 10 I had 2 follies >18 and 5 that were between 14 - 16. They were scared to let me go any longer because I don't want sextuplets. Hope this helps and good luck!
