What is the ideal number for estrogen?

abcteach

I  had b/w done on Thursday and my estrogen was 393 and my RE seemed to be excited about that. I had some more b/w this morning and am awaiting the results. My ER will be on Monday or Tuesday. I just read a post about someone's estrogen being 1,800. Mine seems really low and was just wondering the norm. Where should it be at this time? TIA

My RE had told me that it should be between 200-300 for each mature follie. So you may have had a lot of follies but they werent mature yet. I am sure you will be much higher today. 1,800 sounds way too high (IMO, I am in no way an expert at this stuff!!!)

E2 (estrogen should be between 150-300 per mature follicle.

In terms of egg production my worst IVF cycle my E2 was about 1300-1500 (5 eggs retrieved)

2nd IVF (10 eggs retrieved) E2 was about 2000-2400 at time of ER

3rd IVF (16 eggs retrieved E2 was almost 3500).

In the process of cycling for IVF # 4 right now. 

 Each person varies and just because your E2 is high/low it won't completely correlate with the number of eggs retrieved.

 
Good luck!

Well over 1000 is normal for an IVF ER.  You often see people in the 2 or 3000 range - above that - RE's start getting really nervous about OHSS.  If your estrogen was close to 400 on Thursday - by today it could already be 1000 or over.  Once it starts going up - it often goes up pretty fast.  GOOD LUCK!!
