[quote=Anonymous]00:55, this is the OP.  Sorry if what I wrote was confusing.  After my day 4 blood test, the RE told me to drop my Menopur to 75 for 2 days, but after that resume the 150 dosage.  So it was planned to only be a two-day drop in dosage.

I'm no expert in what E2 levels should be, especially since it depends on how many follicles you have.  But here are my E2 levels.  (I don't have exact numbers for some days.)
Day 4: 575-ish.  (This was higher than expected, so that's when two-day Menopur reduction plan happened.)
Day 5: 830-ish.  
Day 7: 1,700-ish.
Day 8: 2,673.
Day 9 (trigger): 5,541.

I had 14 follicles at baseline, but about 20 on day 4.  The number stayed in the 20s until trigger day when I had 32 follicles.  (My follicle numbers often didn't seem very precise.  It depended on who was doing the monitoring, but some seemed less interested in getting a precise count than others.)

On day 8 my nurse told me that I was a bit over-stimulated and that the goal was to keep me from going over 5,000.  Obviously I went a bit over that, but not too much...
