Hello, I did a frozen embryo transfer today and my nurse told me my estrogen level is 721. She said it can’t be too high but to continue my meds as usual. I google and it says above 500 has less chance of IVF success and now I’m freaking out because I’ve had 2 failed IVFs and really hoping this to work. Did anyone h...

So had all the test, ultrasound and bloods. Nothing found on either, so been told to just keep trying. Worried about secondary infertility now, does that mean there is no chance/hope? Anyone have any advice of where to go from here?

Hi all, can anyone else see a VVFL on this or is it my imagination? For context I am only 6DPO after my first IUI (no self-discipline to wait 🫣). Thanks for any/all responses! Update: Thanks ladies, did another test using a different brand and got the same VVFL. Hubbie says he can’t see anything 😆
