I am not sure if my numbers are cause for concern. The RE has increased my estrace level and now I have to use two estradiol patches instead of one. Does anyone anything about this?? I am trying hard not to be alarmed.
Should I be worried about estradiol and progesterone levels?

Should I be worried about estradiol and progesterone levels?
So I had my ET on 7/27, and went in on 7/30 to test my estradiol and progesterone levels. The nurse called today to say that my estradiol level is 121 and my progesterone level is 33.6. Since she is sub for the regular nurse and the RE in on vacation I am not sure if my numbers are cause for concern. The RE has increased my estrace level and now I have to use two estradiol patches instead of one.

Hey girlie!!! My doctor didn't tell me what my numbers were, but he is starting me on estrogen pills and upping my PIO to 1.5. Don't worry, they will adjust your meds to make up for what your body needs if necessary!!!

That progesterone level is fine in any protocol I've ever seen.Path Finder wrote:So I had my ET on 7/27, and went in on 7/30 to test my estradiol and progesterone levels.

Some would consider your estradiol level a little low, but there is some controversy regarding how much it matters, if at all. My clinic tries to keep it above 200.
Avoid IVF and surrogacy in Ukraine. Ukrainian centers pay shills to post here under numerous sock accounts pretending to be patients in Ukraine. Centers using such deceptive advertising cannot be trusted and should be avoided.
