Estrogen levels during stims

in Infertility

I'm nervous that my estrogen levels are rising to quickly during stims. Here are my levels so far...

Day 4 stims E2 = 300; Follistim dropped from 200 to 150

Day 5 stims E2 = 638; Follistim stayed at 150; I had 5-7 follies nearing 10mm

Day 6 stims (today) E2 = 1234; Follistim will drop to 100 tonight

1234... yikes! Is this bad? Am I at greater risk of OHSS now? It didn't really sink in while I was on the phone with my nurse that this might be a problem. I have another blood draw and u/s tomorrow morning and will be asking questions then, but I was also wondering if any of you ladies had any experience with this. TIA!

    I don't know about OHSS, but my levels were:

    Day 4: 327

    Day 6: 700

    Day 8: 1600

    Day 9: 1700 (I triggered this day). 

    Today was my ER and we got 10 eggs today! No OHSS. I think you're probably fine for now, but I'm sure they're going to watch your levels and see what happens.

    Everyone is different. My levels began at 292 and they are supposed to double every time you go in for monitoring. My first IVF, my levels only got up to 1800. My second IVF, my levels went all the way up to 6800. Both times I did not get OHSS! Just start drinking electrolyte fluids. Whenever you do IVF, you're at risk for OHSS, so just do what you can to prevent it by helping your body expel fluids now. Whey protein shakes are good for assisting with this, too. Good luck!
