Everytime I was on Clomid - my dr had me wear a Vivelle Dot (estrogen patch) so that the lining of my uterus wouldn't get too thin. I would put the patch ( on my abdomen) on Monday when I started Clomid - then apply a new patch on Thursday. It worked well each time - the dr was satisfied with the results
Franknbeans - thank you so much for the information. I CANNOT believe that my RE didnt recommend it. Sometimes I really wonder what he thinks....
Thanks for your response, Quinn...
Gigi: Estrace is a small blue/green pill that you can take orally or you can stick it up your who-ha. :) It wasn't expensive for me but it was covered by my insurance so it was $10 for a 30 pills. I think I'm supposed to take it during the 2 week wait and then stop.
I wish I had heard of Estrace, I would have asked my RE about it. I have thin lining to begin with. On Clomid it went down to 6 which he wasnt happy with. I have had more luck on Femara with it being around 7.2, but I sure would like to see it thicker than that!
I have an appointment on the 25th of Nov. I'm gonna ask about Estrace. Thanks for mentioning it. I wish the RE had prescribed it AGES ago! Is it expensive? Is it an injection or a pill?
Whenever I did clomid my doctor automatically prescribed me estrace for that very reason. Yes, it does help and does cause the lining to thicken rather quickly.. :)
Good Luck
