The question
Hi
I am currently doing suppression before embryo transfer. I am almost 2 month into suppression with lupron depot, letrozole, and norethindrone. I had done 2 months of suppression with just lupron about 6 months ago before a transfer that failed. I just had bloodwork done and my estrogen, lh, and fsh are all low but my testosterone was 140! I had it retested and now its 157! Im not taking Dhea or and supplements that would cause that and i dont have pcos. I have endometriosis and dor. What could be causing this? What should i do next? I have to decide if i should take a 3rd month dose but im not sure what to do.
Thank you.
Answer from Dr. Geoffrey Sher
A high testosterone has an adverse effect on egg/embryo quality and endometriosis can adversely affect embryo attachment (implantation) through an immune mechanism.
