Day 3 of my period and just did my 1st Puregon (FSH) shot. High estrogen levels.

[Clorets]

Hello everyone! I'm new to this thread and new to IVF too.

My estrogen levels were too high to start on my FSH (puregon) on day 2 of my period at 270 and today it was 255. My FS wanted it to be 200 or lower.
Anyhow, he started me on Puregon anyway and the journey has officially begun!
I got confused over the self injections and hit my dosage on the pen quite quickly so it stung a little bit.

I don't know if I should be concerned over my high estrogen levels or not. I know that if estrogen is high it can create a progesterone deficiency because it's not in balance. It's been one hurdle after another for me. But I'll plod on and hope for the best.

Hi clorets

I am on puregon too, not for IVF but because my pituitary gland doesn't produce enough FSH on it's own.
I was so scared of doing the injections that my first go I went in on a funny angle and I heard and felt a popping noise as it went through my skin, I thought I was going to vomit!!!
I find if I let the area that I alcohol swab dry really well first it doesnt sting, and I push the button in slowly then count to 10 before I take it out.

Good luck with everything xxx

Good luck to you too.

I just do it and bumble my way through. And keep ringing the nurses in a panic.
