Ghost - low estrogen 6dp3dt

[IVFinNJ]

Hi Ghost - We transferred two great embies on Nov17th, the best we have ever had! Had b/w today and progestrone was 17 and estrogen was 32. RE put me on 2mg of estrace 3 times per day starting today because they said it was too low. What are the normal ranges?? Did we "catch" it in time to correct? Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for all of your time to this site...you are truly a gift!

I would not worry at all about that progesterone value. Clinics variously use 10, 15, or 20 as their minimum, but all of these have a safety margins built in. The lowest has less margin. I've read the truly critical level is around 6.5.

Your estradiol level is low, but there is some controversy as to how much it matters. I've read that supplemental estradiol does not improve outcome following IVF, but it does reduce bleeding/spotting. Some clinics use it and some don't.

I just wanted to let you know that I had the same progesterone number as you when they tested me for my first beta, and my estrogen was also really low (I cannot remember the exact number, but it was low like yours). They put me in estradiol for that and it upped the number beautifully. As you can see from my ticker below, everything turned out just fine.
