So, I read something on the internet and I want know what everyone thinks of this ...... I was searching for women who had their E2 come back too high after Lupron. One woman said after x amount of time with her levels still not considered suppressed her RE sent her blood to an outside lab to be tested. well lo and behold her levels were perfectly suppressed. The reason was that she produced a protein in her blood that could pop as E2 with some testing methods. The outside lab's method only detected the actual estrogen and not the protein. My curiosity was peaked because in my last cycles, I was only on 2 estrace pills a day (4mg) and my E2 was coming back over 2500. I am using the same monitoring clinic, so same lab for this cycle. My last RE would not increase my estrace dose because of my levels of E2, even though my lining was only 4.5 mm. -- This cylce however I am on 6 pills a day (12 mg) and my E2 will not be checked again until 10/24. So I just found all that very interesting.
I think maybe I have that! :) But we shall see. Obviously my E2 was not high enough to prevent me from starting the estrace, and it was low enough to seem relatively suppressed, combined with my uterus and ovaries. Chugging along. I promised pictures of my bracelet. So here it is. It's the Zen Dharma Stone bracelet from Joseph Nogucci. I bought it Here .
Its green for fertility, and Zen to keep me calm. I wanted to get both sides in the pictures because opposite the Buddha is a very pretty and sparkly ball :) So for the next 14 days I will Keep Calm and Cycle On :) then they will check my E2 again, which will probably be sky high, but hopefully my lining will be fluffy soft and welcoming to two little embryos. I wonder if I have a green nail polish? I'm sure I do somewhere :) Here's to staying calm, happy, and positive for 2 weeks. (Then I have 2 weeks until transfer, then another 2 weeks until Beta)
