Anybody have low estrogen at first beta?

Mine is only 94 and they want it to be 150-200.  My estrogen was increased by 2 pills vaginally before bed.  What did your RE do for low E?  Any tips to help raise it naturally?

    I don't have any tips, as I was never given my estrogen/progesterone numbers. I took 2 mg of Estrace orally 2x/daily until 8 weeks. I'll continue to take 2mg 1x/daily until 10 weeks. I'm sure they'll see a great increase with the little boost in medication :).

    Congrats on your positive pregnancy test!!!

    Mine was low in the very beginning, too.  I was using Vivelle estrogen patches though, not pills, so my RE just increased the number of patches I was using.  As long as they continue to monitor you, you should be fine.  Good luck!

    I did, too! They just made me put all sorts of those patches on my stomach. That apparently worked. Although, I still have the marks from them because I was allergic!
