Could you please comment on what the outlook for ovarian response would be in a healthy 36 yr old woman with an FSH of 6.94 and estradiol of 125 at cd3? I should add that I also had a sonohystogram on cycle day 8 of that same bloodwork cycle and was told I was about to ovulate. Could being earlier in the follicular phase than we thought cause the elevated E2 and not necessarily a poor prognosis for ovarian response?
Thank you, Meridith

36 years old. Married for 17 years. 1 son, 7 years old, conceived w/ ICSI. 2nd IVF w/ ICSI in June=No Fertilization. August cycle cancelled for poor response. Considering options.
An FSH of 7 Iu/L is fine, but on cycle day 3, an estradiol of 125 pg/ml is high. It may falsely suppress FSH. Probably a more accurate estimate of ovarian reserve can be made by counting the number of follicles visible on ultrasound on day 3. Good luck.
