Intro and a question!

Hi there!  I'm very new to the whole bump board and I am thrilled to check it out!  Anyway, DH and I had been trying to conceive for 4.5 years.  After about 2 years of trying on our own we finally did testing and found out that I had endometriosis.  After 2 surgeries to clear that out we decided to give IVF a go and after 2 failed cycles I am so happy to finally be pregnant!  I just had an ultrasound confirm that I am 6 weeks 5 days along!!  I was so relieved to see that little heart beat!!  However, (and on to my question) my estrogen levels aren't super fantastic.  Last week they upped my dosage of Estrace and this week when they did my blood work my levels dropped again.  They were 769 and went down to 742.  :(  I was really hoping they would have shown improvement.  I was just curious if anyone on here had sluggish estrogen level but the pregnancy was fine.  They said everything looked good in the ultrasound and that is important and not to worry.. but yeah... It is a weakness of mine.  So I am hoping some you may have some insight for me and maybe help me be more at ease!  I'd love to stick around and learn more about this board all you ladies!  (I hope that is ok!) 

Anyway, anyone have any fun plans for the fourth?  We have a crazy couple of days coming up filled with cookouts and taking my dad on a tour of a baseball stadium and then staying for the game.  I've henceforth declared Sunday to be Lay-on-the-Couch-All-Day Day (pants optional....)  Have a wonderful holiday!

    Congratulations!!! All of us on SAIF have had (at least one baby). Several ladies here are pregnant again, but the PAIF board is all pregnant ladies, so you have more ladies to commiserate with there ;) you are of course welcome here also!

    I can't answer the estrogen question. I'm having my own issue with estrogen for my upcoming FET :(

    Best of luck to you!
