Chinese Herbal Medicine's Impact on Day 3 FSH Estradiol test, drug interaction impact on IVF

Dr,

I recently started the Chinese Herbal Medicine treatment for fertility, focusing on tonifying kidney and boosting circulation. The latest Day3 blood test shows an elevated Estradiol above 70 and lowered FSH around 6, compared to my test last year's level of FSH around 8 and Estradiol in mid 40's.  I am 39 years old.  I searched the web and some says the high Estradiol basically inverses the lowered FSH and it is a syndrome of diminished ovarian reserve and early follicular recruitment, with lower inhibin B level due to lower number of eggs getting recruited.

Q: Are there anything I can read about the aging process and profile change of the Day 3 tests?
Would the high Estradiol level at Day3 indicate a difficult response for IVF?

I also read from some other source that Chinese Herbal medical has some effect on the hormone level. Specifically, I saw graphs of elevated Estrogen and decreased FSH profile after some treatment of herbal medication, but the graphs did not give more detailed info on test conditions.  

Q: How would Chinese Herbal medicine affect the day 3 lab test? Are there some general info I can learn? Understand this highly depends on the drug that is given. Would the drug interaction be safe to proceed the IVF cycle while the Chinese Herbal medicine treatment is still in session?

Thank you

- Sarah

I can try & answer some of your questions but can tell you that when I started with my Dr I was not allowoed to be on any herbs & they specifically say it's not allowed or they won't treat you.  Be careful of what you take.

In reference to the estradial when mine was too high I had to wait it out until it went down by retesting the following week. Luckily mine straightend itself out.

I am 37 & just finished my first IVF & waiting for results.

Good Luck Sarah........
