Why all the blood tests?
The blood tests are used to measure estrogen levels.
"Your body's estrogen levels reveal a lot about your current fertility, and are used to measure your response to fertility treatments. Practitioners and patients often use three terms interchangably when talking about the same thing: estrogen, estradiol, and E2. Estrogen stimulates the lining of the uterus, so that it grows and can sustain a pregnancy. And estrogen is a measure of ovarian activity - as follicles produce estrogen. So the more follicles there are, the more estrogen will be present. Estrogen is measured in pg/mL."

As the stimulation continues, the nurse said she wants to sees a steady growth. At my last appointment my E2 was in the 60s so she predicted my next blood test should be in the 100s.
