LH and Estradiol levels

My clinic does not usually give pts their blood results. This time, I've been asking. I started Lupron on 2/10 on CD 22, CD 1 was 2/19 and started stims 2/24.

I had 1st ck on 2/28-RE saw 5 follies on the left at 7-8 and 6 on the right at 7-9. E2 was 66 and LH 0.2. Yesterday, RE saw 5 follies on each side @ 11-13. LH 0.3 and E2 139. I was surprised b/c I thought I'd be further along and was anticipating ER being set up (due to what clinic had said earlier in the cycle). Now, I go for my 3rd follie ck tomorrow and tentative ER is Tues/Wed (when they originally thought it would be Sun/Mon).

I'm a little nervous. To the mulitple IVF'ers....does this look ok?? I definitely have my hopes up for this cycle and I will be more crushed than usual if this fails...again.

Thanks for reading!

    I don't have a lot of info to provide as this is my first IVF. But I did have follie check #3 yesterday morning and majority of my follicles were 10-13. I go in for check #3 tomorrow morning. I am really hoping they all catch up because I was originally supposed to have my ER scheduled for Monday. Now it might be Tuesday :(  I'm also on the Long Lupron protocol (I also started 2/10, started stims 2/24).

    I go to IRH and they never tell me my b/w results.

    TTC #1 since 7/09
    Dx: LPD, underdeveloped follicles, blocked left tube
    3 C/P, 1 BO, 1 Ectopic
    IVF#1=BFN (3/11)
    FET#1=BFP

    Thanks for your response! I have never been for a 3rd follicle scan...always set up ER on 2nd scan in previous cycles. I like the extra monitoring but I am worried about "sluggish" follicles. It's my 1st Lupron cycle though. I will meet dr burwinkel for the 1st time tomorrow morning.

    Yea I also have an appt with him tomorrow morning. This will be my 3rd appt with him. He's nice, although I feel more comfortable with Scheiber and Awadalla. I know what you mean about the sluggish follicles. I'm worried mine aren't growing as fast as they should, but I don't have anything to compare it to. I'm hoping for good news when I go in tomorrow. Good luck!
