estrogen levels?

KaselleckKaselleck member

Since I cancelled my cycle, my RE has been monitoring my estrogen to make sure it's coming down. Last week, it was 1200 and it has dropped to 450 today. I triggered 16 days ago, but my period is no where in sight. Could my elevated estrogen be prolonging AF from coming? I just want this nightmare cycle to be over. Any insight would be much appreciated. My body is so messed up.

    I've not had estrogen levels tested before, so I'm sorry I'm not much help.  It does seem like it could have an effect, though.  My AF was two weeks last cycle for no explainable reason (definitely not pregnant), and I'm sure some hormone level was off somehow.   I hope everything is straightened out soon for you!
