FIRST IVF PLZ HELP!!

[elsaca]

Hi ladies!!
I've been glued to the posts since I had my embryo transfer on 10/11 . Thank God for all of you and your valuable feedback!!  Don't have the lingo down yet plz bear with me :)
I had implanted 2-3day/8 cell grade B embryos and 1/7 cell grade B embryo. Had my first blood test and my progesterone is 84 and estrogen at 47. I was told estrogen is low, to  increase from 1 estrogen patch to 3 and I'm freaking out wondering if this will affect the outcome of things. During the 2WW I've had mild cramps and other minimal symptoms and wonder if what I'm feeling or not is a good/bad sign. Anyone with similar numbers? Do you know if low estrogen levels affect the implantation process?? Any feedback is greatly appreciated!! Good luck to all!!!

I never had my estrogen checked after transfer either (and I'm now 30 weeks pregnant!). From what I gathered, they usually put you on an estrogen supplement after transfer...just in case...but it's not NEARLY as important as the progesterone. As a matter of fact, my RE told me there's no real evidence out there that an estrogen supplement is even needed. So try not to worry...your progesterone is fine and that's what really matters!

Best of luck with everything!

Thanks so much for the replies!!! Guess l'll wait for my beta on the 26th....so tempted to take a hpt though.....I'll calm my anxiety with ice cream :)

My RE told me to stay away from the blogs and I'm glad I "disobeyed". The feedback and most importantly, each other's support, helps us all get through these anxious/stressful/joyful/sad times.

Best wishes to all !!!
