Estrogen post transfer?

I had a natural FET today and the blood work from this morning showed my estrogen level was 106. My doctor told me to tAke four estrogen patches every other day plus 2mg estradiol tablet every day to increase my estrogen. He said it should be 300.  Esteogen is counter indicated for pregnancy- causes birth defects in children- says right on the label to not take whole pregnant!  Does anyone know what their estrogen level was on day of transfer and did doctor recommend taking estrogen?  Thanks so much for any help you can give me!

I was on estrogen but can't remember when they stopped it.  I know I was on progesterone for 12 weeks after transfer.

i was on estrogen (along with progesterone) post transfer.
they will monitor you and have you stop the estrogen if you become pregnant.

I can't answer your question about what estrogen should be on the day of transfer but I am preparing for my FET now and am on estrogen tablets to prepare my lining which will continue for 17 days after the transfer.  It is quite common to do an assisted FET as opposed to a natural cycle (just depends on your clinic) and very common to give estrogen tabs so wouldn't be worried about taking them.

good luck with getting your BFP
