Hi I am new to these boards. My Name is Gina and my husband and I are TTC our 1st child. We have been using medications for fertility since 01/2007. We had six cycles of clomid and then got pregnant but lost that baby at 11 weeks. We then tried 2 more cycles of clomid before moving on to Femara. We did 1 cycle of femara under the care of my OBGYN and then were referred to a RE. This is our first cycle of femara at the RE. There is so much more testing and monitoring with the RE, it is a bit overwhelming. I went for my 1st follicle scan CD10 on Saturday and well as an estradiol test. The u/s showed 3 follicles on each side, the biggest only 0.86??? The nurse states that they need to be at least 1.0??? Also she said that my estradiol level was low, 30. She states that they want to see it at 40 or above? This is all new to me anyone with any insight into what all of this means?? I go for another scan on Wed morning in hopes of using ovidrel sometime this week. It has been very encouraging to be able to read about others TTC journeys, It helps me realize that I am not alone in this struggle.
