I used the vivelle patches as well and have never heard anything about them being dangerous to pregnancy as they're made of estrogen. I had a baby last April and he seems fine and the pregnancy went super-duper great.
I am 2 days post transfer - I am going through IVF times 2 - we have one healthy baby at home and hope for another healthy baby (or babies) next summer !! I am concerned about the vivelle patches. I use them twice a week (two patches) and have read about the use being dangerous in pregnancy. Is this true ?? Does anyone know about these patches and have you used them? I did not use them the first round and had success.so i really am not sure why we are using them now..the doctor simply said it was used to decreased spotting and it is new to the protocol..
Thanks so much for your help!! You ladies are a huge help...
I was told to put the patches either on my mid-lower abdomen, mid-lower back, or on the back of my arms.
I put my patches right near my belly button..right above my panty line.
You are supposed to change them every 3 days. Not sure if your doctor told you that.
They are really easy to use.
Hope that helps.
