Purpose:
We aimed to analyze the relationship between estradiol level and thromboelastography profile.
Patients And Methods:
This prospective study with comparative analysis was performed on nineteen samples undergoing an IVF procedure in two fertility clinics in Bandung city. Blood samples taken on the second and twelfth days of the IVF cycle.
Results:
There were significant differences in the value of estradiol, fibrin formation time (α), and coagulation index (CI) (p<0.05). Correlation tests showed no relationship and no significant correlation between an increased level of estradiol and coagulation index (CI) (r s=0.054; p=0.827) and between an increased level of estradiol and fibrinolysis time (LY30) (r s=-0.151; p=0.536). A moderate significant relationship was observed between age and coagulation index (CI) (r s=-0.430; p=0.033) and between age and maximum amplitude (MA) (r s=-0.494; p=0.032).
Conclusion:
Supraphysiological estradiol levels in controlled ovarian stimulation cycles affect the coagulation index and change mainly the fibrin formation time.

Hormonal Control of the Ovarian Cycle
Before puberty, the hypothalamus releases GnRH in a low frequency, low amplitude pulsatile manner. This along with the immature hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis activity, results in low estrogen levels and the absence of a fully functional ovarian cycle. At puberty, GnRH secretion increases in both frequency and...
Hormonal Regulation of the Menstrual Cycle
At puberty, GnRH begins a pulsatile release pattern, which triggers the anterior pituitary gland to secrete follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH). The frequency and amplitude of GnRH pulses vary across the menstrual cycle, with faster pulses favoring LH release and slower pulses favoring FSH...
