Estrogen levels while stimming

[nothing2lose]

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.

OK so I am a bit late jumping into this thread but I am one of these crazy ladies that remember every single E2 result!!!! I am extremely unpredictable - of my three stims that have got as far as my first blood test, my oestrogen has been 2200 (after 7 days), 289 (after 7 days) and . . . 7200 after 5 days!!!!!!!!!! As I say, unpredictable. My clinic say that as long as E2 roughly doubles every few days, then they are happy. My first cycle, I peaked at 13000 and the clinic was making noises about overstim, second was 3000 and we got 4 eggs and the last one was just a giant big ohss disaster. I am rambling but I reckon your E2 after 5 days is not too bad at all and you are on track for a nice amount of eggies (but not way too many).

Hope your scan brings you some great news tomorrow - good luck and crossing everything that this is your cycle HTH

Oooohh, just remembered what the nurse said last cycle - she said that they would consider cancellation if a BT after 5 days of E2 is over 2000 so maybe that is what your nurse meant? Would definitely make more sense after 5 days than at the end of stims?
