Today is day 15. Had more blood work done, apparently no LH surge yet as I didn't get the call for IUI tomorrow... so I go back for more blood work. Here were my levels.
One folly -RO = 16mm, cd13
E2 levels = cd11 - 123, cd13 - 325, cd14 - 469
LH levels = cd11 - 10.8, cd13 - 6.1, cd14 - 5.7
Now, seeing as this is my first IUI, I have a few questions for those with experience... why is LH dropping and E2 rising... anyone else with numbers like this? Is this normal? I am waiting for my surge, and am worried it won't happen as today is cd15, tomorrow cd16. I don't want to miss out on the window of taking an hcg injection, the nurse said they don't normally give it first time out anyways... but I'm still asking for it tomorrow if my numbers still show no surge... first IUI or not, this is the closest I've ever come to getting pregnant lol.
Hormonal Experience:
Today they took 5 viles of blood - said it was for testing for hiv ect. I let her take it of course, apparently its law. So then I leave the office and am driving to work and my brain starts working with the hormones going through my body and I went into a full blown panic attack by the time I got to work. I called David and told him he needed to go get his blood taken for the tests; he knew I was upset so he went straight to the dr's office. He talked to the nurse and asked why we had to take the test, advised that I was a little upset and worried and explained why (due to the history of diapointment after disapointment with ttc). He knew I was worried that there was something wrong and that's why they were taking these tests (although I know I don't have HIV or aids, or anything to worry about that way). Its funny, even just the mention of the possibility really makes you think. Anyways, so the nurse explained to Dave about the tests, and he called me at work to let me know everything was okay. I laugh now, but it really wasn't funny earlier. after thinking about things, coupled with my hormones, I had gotten myself all worked up. She was apologetic with David and said I can ask her anything and she'll give me her best educated answer! I feel better now, but man; hormones suck LOL. Tomorrow is gunna be embarassing when I go to get my blood drawn. lol, awww well!
I hope I get my surge soon, I really don't want to lose my opportunity for this cycle.
Hoping for my surge,
TTYL
XOXO

I can give you my best educated guess on that e2/LH question but i am not positive. I nenver tracked my LH because they were doing scans to determine when to give me hte hcg trigger shot - so i am not 100% sure. Do not worry about trhe blood draw freak out .. these nurses are so used to this, it's very routine for them to see us some what lose it. Your e2 lvl is very good for an IUI. Hang in there
