Low E2 but Growing Follicles

edited April 2014 in Trouble TTC
Today will be day #7 on stims for my first IVF cycle. My past two blood tests have shown a slow rise in E2 but growing follicles. My meds were increased on Friday and then again yesterday. I go back to RE tomorrow. I'm hoping the dosage I am on now will do the trick but I am very concerned about my E2 levels. I have heard that many women are slow risers, but it's still disheartening... My nurse said to not worry and that rather than the typical 10-12 days of stims, it may be closer to 14 days for me. I have no issue with that as long as things progress...

Have any of you ladies had this type of scenario? I'm all about reassurance and positive thoughts... I had no idea how hard this was going to be.

    Yes. I'm a slow riser too. I usually stim for about 11 days. My E2 is always low until the very end and then it just jumps up. Good luck!
    Fucking bump!!!!

    I usually stim for 5 days, starting day CD6... my E2 on CD10 was 261 w/ 4 mature follicles. My doc said that was normal and had me stim that night for the last time. I've never had my b/w for E2 other than that time.. so I don't know what it was when I triggered the next morning, but my count increased to 5 mature.

    I read that after about 8 days of stims you want to at least be between 300-500.  Then as long as you are close to doubling each day after that, you are good.

    IUI's 1-3 = BFN, IVF converted to IUI 4/13 = BFN

    I don't have much to offer because I've only done one medicated cycle & overstimulated. With IF and IF meds, anything can happen. Good luck.
