Trouble TTC

Were your estrogen levels checked before IUI?

I have read a couple of posts saying that their estrogen levels were checked before the IUI, and mine never were. They were done when we first started testing about 2 months ago, but never before my IUI.  Should I be concerned?  I did get a positive OPK though.  Just wondering why some Doctors are checking and some aren't?

  • My estrogen levels were checked at my last monitoring appt which ended up being the day of my trigger (2 days ago).  They weren't checked again before the IUI, though I wish they had been:P

  • Yes, mine were checked numerous times before all of my IUIs. My poor arm had the track marks as proof :(

  • Mine are checked, among other things, at my CD3 u/s and b/w appt.  Then not again until after IUI.

  • No blood work was done before my IUI.  I'm sure it probably depends on the individual and what your "issues" are, and it probably depends on the Dr. too.
