The modern medical mystery that I am.

I just got a call from the RE’s office. I went for another ultrasound this morning, which is another story entirely, but I had three follicles on the left side and one on the right. Sounds promising, except the reason that the nurse was calling was that my estrogen has gone up to 2000. That’s right, 2000. To put that in perspective, last month it was in the 80's. She said that they were so perplexed by that result that they needed to call me right away to find out if I took all my meds this month. I told her that I did and reminded her that I was on the vaginal estrogen tablets three times a day to help my lining. She said that might have something to do with it, but that the follicular development was not corresponding to the estrogen levels. I’m not sure that the heck that means, so I’ll have to check into it. I was hoping with such high estrogen levels my lining would finally behave and get thicker but no such luck. It was only 4.7mm. Less than half of what they would hope for at this point in my cycle; it should normally be around 11 or so. Nope. I don’t even know what to think about it. I’m so frustrated I could cry. All week I've been feeling terrible. I'm not sure if it's the meds or if I'm fighting something off, but I've had terrible cramps, an upset stomach and I just feel worn down and tired all the time.

The nurse is going to call me later today to let me know what the next step is. I'm not sure if they'll have me trigger now or not. Imagine if I went through all of this just to have them cancel the cycle?
