Hi Dr. Q
I went in for E2 and U/S today after 9 nights of stimulation. Things seem to be going well: around 17 follies (there may be more that are really small which they didn't measure) varying in sizes from 16mm down. Was taking 150 Menopur, 150 Follistim with 5 Lupron. Then Follistim was cut in 1/2 for two nights. Today my E2 went from 953 on Thursday to 2193 and Follistim was cut out completely. Is there a point where the E2 can get too high or as long as it is consistently going up it's ok? How are things sounding to you? I am starting to drink some Gatorade, any other suggestions? THANKS!!!

There's many variables that one needs to take into account to determine who will develop OHSS, granted those with E2 levels > 4,000 pg/mL are at increased risk...
If you were told to stop follistim, this is called "coasting" which is sometimes done to help prevent OHSS when there's a severe risk of it developing
