i wondered if there was actually a link to the levels people have had as they stimming process goes on. i was phoned today with my first blood work since starting stimming (started saturday night it is now monday-- blood was monday AM)
the call i got was good, they said my level was great at 194. i have no idea what to compare this to. i really like to look at facts and figure things out, and i wont see the nurse/doctor until thursday to bombard them with questions.
i know what levels later on are like when they hit the thousands and what they convert to as in egg count, but this early i have no idea what it really means.
ive googled around and many folks offer their own levels at that stage but i havent actually found a site or forum thread that has averages or comparisons.
im sure it is too soon to tell with out an ultrasound, so this question may never get an answer, but i thought id ask.
my doctor is trying for less follicle growth (number of) since i have so many follicles and im a high risk for over stim. so im a bit clueless on this stuff. im just hoping and praying for a dozen good quality eggs. i know that is a lot to ask for, but id really liek a few shots at this.
so my estradiol was 194 on cycle day 5 with first day of stimming being called day 3. (actual cycle day 7). so im 2 injections into treatment. much love to anyone that can offer encouraging words or share their own levels. not sure of my levels from my actual day 3. i was just told "normal" when those results came back.
