soaring estradiol, low LH???

[Anonymous]

Query - anyone had success w/ an IUI when you had really high estradiol (622); a good size egg (22mm); but very low LH (2.7)???? I am getting an HSG trigger shot today and we are supposed to do the IUI on Friday (Day 14). I usually ovulate Day 16-17. This is the best egg I've had in a while... FYI - FSH was 8.3. But i'm worried about the low LH.

Your LH should be low before you trigger...it means you haven't ovulated yet. I think 18+ means you're ovulating. The HCG trigger shot will bring on ovulation in about 36 hours, thus causing your LH to rise...does this make sense???

Hope this helps!
