The question
Hi Dr Sher,
I got covid during my ivf cycle last month, so had to cancel D9 after taking corifollitropan alfa D3.
I got my period early on D19 (usually have 28 day cycle) and my D2 E2 is 138 pg/ml. FSH (6) and progesterone (0.9).
My D2 E2 has always previously been <60.
Is the likely cause of high D2 E2 a functional cyst? I’m repeating bloods to see if E2 levels come down. Should I be getting an US?
Thanks!
Answer from Dr. Geoffrey Sher
Yes! It is very often due to a folliclular cyst! It should absorb in time. Alternatively it can be aspirated under local, trans-vaginally and the level will drop....Good luck!
