Estrogen levels while stimming

[KMond]

HI N2L I had EPU yesterday and had 40 follies (I have polycystic ovaries) and my FS was very happy with my oestregen levels which were at 6,000. He said anything over 10,000 is a concern for him for OHSS

Thanks KMond! I think it's becauseit was only day 5 of stims that they are watching it.

I have this really strong metallic taste in my mouth too It's horrible!

Well done on 40 follies!!! How many eggs did you get??

I have pcos too but I don't respond well to stims for some reason

40 follies wow!

n2l have you recently changed multivitamins? that usually causes a strange taste in my mouth.

No Maruschke, same old vitamins and supplements here!

I have done some research and apparently it is caused by estrogen rising. It's why a lot of women have it in early pregnancy.

I got 11 eggs, 9 were mature and 8 fertilised. Now just gotta get some good looking ones to day 5.

Good luck with the rest of your stimming!

That's great KMond!! You must be thrilled

I am glad my clinic does two day transfers. Not sure I could hold out stresswise until day five!!

Good luck x

Firstly congrats Kmond on 8 fertilised eggs thats a great result!

The levels are confusing N2L, cos the more I think about it the more i think my level of 3000 was at the end of my first stim cycle that was cancelled, so how can a level over 2000 be a risk of ohss when i couldn't even get enough follies on 3000??

I'm sure you will be fine, sometimes I think it would be nice to go into a sensory deprivation chamber for our cycles so we don't have to stress about every blood test and u/s result etc, just come out of it to a bfp!! GOOD LUCK for your next scan.
