Hello,

Am on cd9, took lupron cd1 am and pm.

cd2-cd9 am: lupron 20 units, 75 menupur and 75 follistim.
cd2-cd9 pm: lupron 20 units, 75 menupur and 150 follistim.

Have 10 follicles.
E2 Level on cd5 was 145
E2 Level on cd7 was 435
And today cd9 E2 level is 935

They have lowered my am and pm to lupron 20, 75 menupur and 75 follistim for tonight and in the morning. Returning to office in the morning?

My question is: This far in shouldn't my E2 be higher? I seems to be low!!

Any information would greatly ease my mind!

Thanks,

No panicking allowed here...

Your E2 is on the low side, but it's still normal and reflects that your ovaries are responding to the meds.

How many follicles did they see developing?

Lower than most, but not really unusual. A little more response would be nice, but that's usually the case.

Best of luck to you.
