Hi Dr H, baseline day 3 e2 levels

[jils04]

Just wondering, you mentioned on my other thread that you like to know the baseline or day 3 e2 level. What does that tell you about someones ivf potential ?
Or the someones big picture ?
Mine was 135p/mol last day 3 check.
Thanks

Hi Jils04

A good baseline E2 usually is one of the predictors/markers for gauging how a patient would stim. Levels on the lower end are usually better for stimulating. Higher levels on day 3 may indicate existence of a functional cyst (common) or a lower ovarian reserve. I do not want you to stress but your E2 is on the higher end of the spectrum. In saying that I have had lots of patients that have been sucessful with a higher level!

Biggest Hugs Dr H

Thanks Dr H, I thought when u convert e2 to the U.S level, 36 wasnt too bad. I stim very well, with follies jumping out in size by day 4 already passed 10-12mm mark. Its the AFC thats not great. 8 at the best, usually 5. Er is great, fert is great, abnormal rate is high. I have taken dhea now for around 5 mths so cant wait to see how I go next and final batching cycle. I'm also taking ALA now along with my other supps, so thanks so much.

Hi Jils04, my apologies with conversion, I am still obviously not focusing.

Good luck my fingers crossed for you.

Big Hugs
