Oh hun I can imagine how you feel right now

I can't offer any advice about the estrogen but just wanted to say hang on in there, I'm SURE there's something that can be done.

So are you going on 1st Oct for the tests? Maybe thats for the best, then get referred to a gynae to get the treatment you need.

Hope things go well for you

Hiya,

dont know much about this ..but i would think if you're levels are down its something that can be remedied so dont despair hun, ok!

Found this for you:

Ranges of normal estrogen levels are measured in parts pg/ml of estradiol.
In normal reproductive age women, during the menstrual cycle, estradiol levels range from 50-400 pg/ml. The actual normal level of estrogen varies during different parts of the menstrual cycle.

Listen, this is just a blip...its a hormonal imbalance and not a physical obcstacle which requires surgery or similar..so chin up girl. Try to look at it as 'glass half full' as opposed to half empty. This can be fixed and if anything you;re luckier than many as at least you have some clue as to whats gloing on with you.

You will be fine..dont give up..this is just another step in you ttc journey so dust yourself off and get going sweetie. Clomid or no clomid...its not a bad drug to be on. Google it if you want..there are several websites out there with a wide range of experiences so i wouldnt necessarily take the gloomy approach.

You're young, healthy, have already been pg... the only way is up, chicken!!!

Lets see some PMA, lol!!

All the best and big Hugs, Omi xxx


Hope it helps, if any..

Clomid is an anti-oestrogen so I don't think it'll be that they prescribe for low oestrogen (I'm obviously not an expert though!)
There are certainly other drugs available to help regulate your hormones. Good luck!
