Estrogen Level after ET Question

Today I had blood drawn to test my estrogen and progesterone levels. My progesterone was fine but my estrogen was low. The nurse advised to increase my estrogen patches from one every 72 hours to 3 every 72 hours.

Has this happend to anyone? Did you still get your BFP?

I am just so worried that my body is not creating the appropriate hormones because maybe I already lost my little ones.

Your thoughts and help are appreciated.

Yesterdays test (mid day) was a bit darker...but it didn't show up immediately, but still within the 5 minute test time frame...so I think it's slowly dissipating!

I saw this on the other threat .. TOO FUNNY. Taking POAS to a whole new level.

I also posted on that thread, that I am feeling better. I left work around 3, went immediately to the local CVS, purchased one FRED and one Clear Blue Digital.

I then went the firestone auto dealer because I had to get my car serviced, checked in and went directly to the bathroom. (So Yes .. yesterday I POAS at Macy's and today I POAS at the Firestone dealer).

In addition, to make sure, I held my pee for about 3 hours before leaving work. I was actually in pain.

I took both tests and I, once again, got a faint FRED line. But, I swear it is darker than this morning and I got a "pregant" with Clear Blue Easy ....

So, I am feeling Cautiously Optimistic. My god .. It is going to be SOOO hard to wait until Tuesday.

Tara.

Stephanie The nurse at my RE told me that sometimes the estrogen level can drop way down and then they give an E supplement but not to worry if I had low estrogen b/c it has no relationship to whether I would get a bfp or not. Hope this helps.

Thanks for the encouragement. I'll find out tomorrow what kind of a time frame we are looking at for the FET. I am heartbroken but trying to look ahead to the next step. I so wish I didn't have my hopes up so high....

I'll be you get good beta numbers (your third beta right?)....

Hi ladies
I'm posting this on the other May thread as well. Just wanted to let everyone know that I had another beta and it was a 7 so I stop the PIO tonight and go in on wed to confirm that I had a very early miscarriage (chemical pregnancy). I'm sitting a month out IVF wise b/c the Dr thinks it will give us a better chance of getting a positive with the frozen cycle but we will try on our own and pray for a miracle. It looks like if the natural cycle doesn't work our FET will be in July so I will prob switch over to that thread but I wish you guys the best and will check back to see how you made out.
