What was your estrogen level before egg collection?

5 Replies

Hi on my last round of IVF I had lots of empty follicles. I had my estrogen level checked yesterday and it’s 3475, which is a good level. I’m due EC on Saturday.

Could you let me know if you had your estrogen level checked prior to EC and how my eggs they retrieved?

Thank you in advance xx

More than 140u per mature follicle is a good number!

Thanks for your reply. The last two cycles I got 3 eggs on each, but I never had my estrogen level checked.

Monitoring estrogen and progesterone are standard. You should ask why they don’t do it. It’s very weird... you should have more and good eggs with those levels. Good luck

I did ask but they didn’t seem interested. So I’ve had my blood done at work this time. Thank you 😊 x

Ok I think you still have a good chance this cycle!

Hopefully it works, but if it doesn’t you may want to consider changes clinic. Fingers crossed you don’t need it :)
