growing follicles on u/s but estradiol dropped!

growing follicles on u/s but estradiol dropped!

The title pretty much says it all! My estradiol dropped from 155 to 78 in two days...but in those two days 2 follicles on my right side grew from 10mm to 11mm. Why would my estradiol drop with growing follicles? My RE did up my Follistim dose.

Hmmmm, that's weird. Normally estrogen increases with the growth of the follicles. Maybe some of the smaller follicles stopped growing and therefore lowering your levels? Not really sure...

Best of luck this cycle!

That happened to me.I had so many follicles that they were not getting enough Follistim  upping the dose should help. I was on 25 IU follistim.
