Is E3G estrogen?

This test can detect this LH surge, which usually happens 1-1½ days before you ovulate. What is E3G? E3G is produced when estrogen breaks down in your body. It accumulates in your urine around the time of ovulation and causes your cervical mucus to become thin and slippery.

Is E3G estradiol?

Estrone-3-glucuronide (E3G) is the main metabolite of estradiol in urine and detecting its presence highly correlates with E2 blood levels. Detecting a rise in E2 through an at home hormone test is done to predict and detect ovulation.

What is E1G?

Estrone-3-Glucuronide (E1G) is a metabolite of the hormone estradiol and is identical across all mammalian species. Estrone is involved in maintaining the flexibility and diameter of blood vessels, and as such is heart and brain protective.

Where is estrone produced?

the ovaries
Produced by the ovaries, the estrone hormone is one of three types of estrogen, and it is one of the major hormones found in the bodies of postmenopausal women.

Why is my E3G high?

The change from Low fertility to High fertility is triggered by detection of elevated E3G concentrations, typically at concentrations between 20–30 ng/ml. The display of High fertility indicates that the woman is approaching a period of maximum fertility.

What should my E3G levels be?

Normally, it will be around 20-100 during the non-fertile period and increase to 100-400 when close to ovulation. The E3G level rises 1-3 days before an LH surge. Its rise often overlaps with the fertile window.

What is a high E3G?

Is E2 and E3G the same?

Estrogen contains as E2 in blood and as Estradiol Metabolite (E3G) in the urine. The changing trend of the content of E3G in the menstrual cycle is similar to that of Luteinizing Hormone (LH), with a peak during ovulation, but its concentration rises earlier than LH.

What converts estrone to estradiol?

Estrone can also be reversibly converted into estradiol by 17β-HSD. The blood half-life of estrone is about 10 to 70 minutes and is similar to that of estradiol.

Is estrone a bad estrogen?

Estriol is considered a weak estrogen as well. It has been postulated that estrone is a “bad” estrogen and may be the cause of estrogen’s cancer-causing properties, while estriol is a “good” estrogen and may protect against cancer. Estradiol is probably neutral.

What is a good E3G level?

What should my LH levels be when ovulating?

The main takeaway: There is a wide range of what’s considered “normal” for urinary LH. One large study showed that the median LH on the day before ovulation was about 44.6 mIU/mL, but that LH could be as high as 101, or as low as 6.5. Yep — some women had an LH of 6.5 the day before ovulation!
