Sorry to jump into your thread - I have been lurking for a while...
Ferrals - that is great news on your FSH levels. Good luck with this cycle. I will be watching with interest as it sounds like we are similar - when my FSH is low, my E2 is high and ovulate very early - CD 6-CD8. But that happens every 2 to 3 months. Otherwise I can have a higher FSH and normal E2 but respond poorly to Clomid etc.
Buliej - hi - hope you are well. I just wanted to comment on your last post. My TCM told me a few months ago that there is international research to show that eggs are continuing to be made just as males continue to produce sperm, it is just that eggs take a lot longer to make than sperm. So it seems that the theory that we are born with our total egg supply my not be correct. And my FS says that the FSH level is only an indicator of the quality of that batch of eggs, and as they are 'selected' 8 months in advance of ovulation, a high FSH can be an indicator of stress or illness 8 months previously. All interesting stuff. Now if I could just fall pg!
Chez67-Thanks for that i was also told that by my accupucturist/chinese herbalist but i still worried about my FSH reading of 10.5 but in saying that my FS said 10-15 is a real gray area and they really cant tell until you do a cycle and see how you respond and what doseage of drugs you need to stimulate and seeing i make a heap of follies and respond really well to a low dose then she said forget my FSH as all my tests show i am still fertile it seems that DH is the problem with bad morphology and as all my eggs ferilised last time but fragmented after day 3 the embrologist is saying that is DNA damage in the sperm so i guess i just have wait and see how i go with this cycle.
And isnt the high E2 frustrating do you have a lead follicle that causes it i seem to have one every 2nd month i have had u/s for a few non medicated cycles and between day 2-8 i have a 17mm-19mm follicle but the earliest i O is day 11 and that is only every 2nd month every other month everything seems fine and i O on day 13 i have been tracking my cycles for 7 months now and it hasnt changed that is why the FS ignored my E2 and that big follie and went ahead with starting my injection.
Anyway i will let you know how i go i find out thursday if my E2 is to high or not and they cancel me fingers crossed.
