question about my levels

[rghkah38]

I'm a little concerned with my levels.   The clinic wanted me to come in on day 1 to do my baseline bloods, so I would be able to start my meds on day 2.  Well, on Thursday I got my results and they were FSH- 8, LH- 3, P- .09, and E-64.  The estrodial is very high especially for day 1.   I went back this morning to do bloods and ultrasound and my results are FSH- 14, LH- 3, P-.6, and E-163.  Also the utrasound showed 8 follicles on day 3.  I had an 11.3, 10.3, 1 less than 10, and 5 less than 6.  I ask the nurse today when she called about the estrodial level and she said it was alright because I'm producing a lot of follies.  Does this make sense?  I'm worried because my estrodial has never been this high at the beginning of the cycle.  Does anyone know what this hormone does and how it can effect follicles??  I wasn't getting to much info from the nurse.

I'm taking 225 of Follistim and centratide in the morning.  I take Reponex at night and that is also 225.  I went yesterday for bloods and utrasound and the utrasound now revealed that I had two that were 14, one 12 and four less than 10.  So, I must of lost one follicle.  I go back tomorrow which will be day 7.  

I really hope your af comes soon I know how hard it is waiting for it to come.

i'm happy for you to be able to start IVF.  It's really good start at day 3 with many follicles......I think you would get more than 10 eggs to retrieve.....more chance to get pregnant.  How much follitism and menopur do you have per day?  Your E2 does not seem high to me since you have many follicles.  
e2 level of 150-200 per mature follicle

I'm still waiting my AF. I'm in 10 days late, maybe she will show up in the next couple days, since my BBT starts deline.

Good luck
keep me posted

I am doing ivf.  It just makes me nervous because it was at a 64 on day 1 without meds.  Everything I was reading said it should be below 50 on day 3.   I heard a while back that higher than normal E2 levels surpresses your FSH level?  Is this true??  I am surprised I am getting this many follicles at the beginning of my cycle because my FSH was at an 8.

Are you doing IVF this time? I didn't even have an E2 level that high until 5-6 days into my meds. WoW!! Those eggies are working - this sounds good to me! :) But, listen to your nurse and go with it! :) You want lots of eggies and high (not crazy high but high) E2 if you are doing IVF. :) Good luck girly!
