I'm on CD5 and have had 3 days so far of 75 IU of menopur (I'll have my 4th tonight) and 4 days of 5 mg of femara. My RE emailed to say we should go forward with a follie scan on Thursday, so I thought my number would be high.
But i just got the lab result and it's the lowest I've had. I had a 99 in July which was a random cycle day. And a 66 on CD 3 on my last cycle. Is this low? normal/average for this day in my cycle?
I'm sure I'm getting worked up over nothing and trying to find some info online, but I was just surprised to see it lower than my other levels.

Re: estrodial levels?
hmm..it's hard to say. When I went in on Monday (4 days after starting 75follistim+75menopur) my Estradiol was at like 140 something? My RE doubled my dosage of follistim on Weds. because I wasn't progressing as quickly as he wanted, and today my Estradiol is 403, and that's after 7 full days of stims.
He explained to me today that some patients just plateau on certain cycles. He's keeping me on a higher dosage of follistim through the weekend, and I will probably trigger on Monday for my ivf.

On CD 7 my estradiol was 686 but I was just on straight follistim - no femara. I def. over responded to injectables but with our MFI we decided to go ahead.
I am not sure what the normal level is supposed to be but I know mine was too high...
