REI Lab Management — Estradiol + Progesterone

Estradiol thresholds for oncofertility post-retrieval; progesterone thresholds for FET and ovulation detection.

Source: REI PGY-2 handoff

Estradiol labs:

Common for oncofertility.

  • 3 days after egg retrieval, assess estradiol. If estradiol >250 → restart letrozole.

Progesterone labs:

Commonly used to determine if a patient has ovulated.

  • Progesterone >3 indicates ovulation — don’t start cycle.
  • Want progesterone <1.5 for FET to initiate estrogen.
