Follicle confused with cyst

Hi ladies just wondering if anyone has shared the same experience as I had. I was going for cycle monitoring for TIC & my follicle size was measuring @ 1.7 cm for 2 scans. Then they noticed a decrease in my estrogen levels & thought that it may be a cyst not a follicle. They will do another blood test & ultrasound in 2 days to confirm if its a cyst or follicle & check if estrogen levels increase. Has anyone had this before?

Hi Rtz. Could it even be that you are about to ovulate? Stranger things have happened! I suppose you are just going to wait and see what the scan and blood test shows. Good luck and hope the mystery is soon solved. Diane

Hi Diane sorry I just saw your msg.Thats what I was thinking too! Because I was feeling something happening down there (you know that feeling) I went in one last time for blood work & ultrasound, the nurse told me that my estrogen did increase & wanted me to go back one more time. They told me that my estrogen decreased slightly & there was no follicle seen. So they cancelled the cycle & want to resume in the New Year. I dont think my body is responding well to letrozole or due to my age.

Thank you for your msg :)
