cd3 levels?

[plumber43]

HI again, today is CD3. I just got some hormone levels back, I can't seem to remember what they should be.
E2 is 83.8 and Progesterone is 1.8. Anyone know?

Thank you for confirming what I/we have been going through, it's so nice to know I'm not the only one!

I have had my AMH but they don't expect the results until another week or so. I guess the lab only tests them on Thursday, so it takes longer than the other tests. Lol, ya, after doing more research I was thinking about your AMH being 126 and I thought Wow! that's off the charts, she is super fertile...lol:). You know, you could go crazy with this stuff- really, it is possible. I have done it to myself. I must spend an hour a day researching and reading on this stuff and have come up with the conclusion that it is all in God's hands at this point. For every statistic, you will find someone on the web who beat it and still had a baby. Hang in there.

So I just went to this website, it says that 4.0-6.8 AMH is optimal fertility and is a better test than the 3 day FSH. Have you had your AMH done yet?

I'm not sure I get all this anyway. My fsh since I started this crazy journey has been 6.5, 8.2 and 7.0.  I made 18 follicles during my IVF in May. It seems like the levels have a lot to do with how many eggs we make. I think?  I made a mistake when I told you about my AMH, it's 5.5 not 126. I apparently, according to my RE, am fertile, by that I mean I make many eggs, but I still have "old" eggs.  We just need to get that one to come out!

Estradiol (E2) Day 3 ( 25-80 pg/ml) Levels on the lower end tend to be better for stimulating. Abnormally high levels on day 3 may indicate existence of a functional cyst or diminished ovarian reserve. Progesterone (P4) Day 3 (< 1.5 ng/ml).  Often called the follicular phase level. An elevated level may indicate a lower pregnancy rate.
Here is a link to an interesting paper I found as well:
http://www.medical.siemens.com/siemens/en_GLOBAL/gg_diag_FBAs/files/news_views/tech_reports_pdfs/zb182-a.pdf.

According to this study "Pregnancy rates were lower when FSH
levels were greater than 17 mIU/mL, and E2 levels
were greater than 45 pg/mL. (Such results would
normally be interpreted, however, in the context of
the range of the obtained FSH levels, which were
not given.)"

Ugh....in my case my FSH is fine, but my E2 levels while within a good range are still not 45. :(
