Stim Day 6 - E2 Update

The nurse called today around 2:30.  She said my E2 is 308.  Kind of bummed that it wasn't higher with the doses of Menopur we added the last two nights.  But hey, it's still climbing right?  It's over two times higher than I had in March.  They upped my dose to 150 (2 vials) of Menopur and kept the Follistim at 150.  I go in for my first ultrasound on Friday and will have my blood checked then as well.   I asked the nurse if this number is normal and she said there really is no normal because every woman is so different.  She added that the follicles are so teeny tiny that they don't produce a whole lot of estrogen right now but when they do get bigger they should produce around 200 in estradiol per follicle.  I guess I am just wondering...last cycle I had approximately 30 follicles and my E2 was 137 on day 10.  I suppose this is pretty common PCOS?  Lots and lots of follies but few quality eggs?  I don't know.  I think I better consult Dr. Google.  I updated my handy dandy chart, it sure would be nice to see a jump in estrogen!
