Doing IUI this month...have some questions please HELP
I am doing an IUI this month and I am doing injections of Repronx. I went to the Dr for some blood work on Sunday and they said my estrogen was 41 and that they would have to increase my dosage to 150 (two powders to one water) . My questions is is 41 a bad number? What should it be? Sunday was my 4th day of the injections. Also does anyone know if it is safe to take ibuprofin while on this medication. Ever since I have started to do the shots I have had a bad headache and have taken ibu a few times but I do not know if it is safe to take with this med. Thanks girls. I go to the RE tomorrow for more blood work and an ultrasound. I will let you know how it goes.
A mature follicle will have between 150-200 level of estrogen. The normal level of estrogen on day 2/3 of your cycle(after you get your period) is usually 40-60 that lewel increases as your folliclesgrow . That is why they may up your dose.
They want to see your estrogen going higher than 41 because the want to see more follicles (did you get an U/S?).
this is why they increased your dosage.You'll see that next BW your estrogen will be higher.
My clinic allows Tylenol during an IVF cycle but not Advil.
Good luck!

Hello! GOOD LUCK!!!!! i also got horrible headache on follistim... it was miserable! I did not take ibuprofen just because its an antiinflammatory,and i didn' t want it to interfere with the follies growing (no idea if its ok or not) I just tried to stick to tylenol just to be safe! GOOD LUCK and keep us updated!: )
Good luck! I am starting injections in july. I am giving my body a couple months off (and hopes I will get preggers on my own) before I resort to the injectables.
Anyway, I would think the ibuprohen is ok right now. It is only a no-no when there is a chance you could be pregnant. If you are really concerned though, just take some tylenol.
Just wanted to tell you good luck....
