IVF: Support Meds after ET

I'm just curious what meds your RE gave you to take after the ET. I had my transfer on Monday and am taking progesterone shots every 12 hours. I've just read that sometimes women are also given estrogen tablets... Is anyone taking those as well, or is this old info I read about??
Thanks! Zoe

My transfer was Jan 29th.  I'm on Progesterone 50 mg shot 1xday, Progesterone 200 mg vaginal suppositories 3xday and estrace(estradiaol tabs) 2mg 3xday.  Praying it all works.  Blood test is Tuesday Feb 12th.  I have a friend that truly believes "you think it you own it', think BABY!!  The 2ww is nerve wracking to say the least.  Thanks to  evyone for your knowledge and support, it's really helping.  But please help...someone tell me what all the abbreviations are??  Thanks.

I am 34 wks preg with twins right now. Had to take progesterone inj for 12 after confirmed preg and had taken 2 wks before the confirmation. Prometrium was for 10wks. Idid have spotting, some light red and some brown and used to get very scared. But was told not to worry, but it is so hard not to worry. Thank god everything turned out well.

I have just finished my process (IVF). I was given tablets. I take them vaginally every 6 hours.

I'm taking Progesterone shots (IM), 1cc twice a day (every 12 hours). Are you still in your 2ww period?? I just started worrying that "everyone else" was also taking estrogen, excpet me. It's crazy the things that become obsessions/worries....
