The doc gave me 2mg. I use one a day for a couple of days and then I slowly increase to 3 a day. Then I go back on about the 15th or 16th day to check and see how its working. If it looks good I will have some test to check the endometrium and make sure it's healthy enough for IVF. If it's not, which scares me, I was told the only chance we have is to use a serogate. Thanks for the hopeful news 4Angie. I will keep praying!! It's the wait and see thing that is hard!
Well I sure hope it works for me! Right now I am only inserting once a day. I am only doing 1cc of PIO. OUCH!!!
I used Estrace because my lining started to thin before I ovulated. I used 2 mg. 3 times a day and then they reduced it as my lining increased. My lining got up to 6 mm and then as the follicles started to get bigger, it went down to 5 mm. It worked for me because I am 8 1/2 weeks prego. I used a lot of other drugs too for other reasons, but the estrace helped with my lining.
That is some good news! I hope it's going to work for us as well! Please let me kow if it works for you Juana824. I will start it soon and will go back to the RE in about 3 weeks to find out if it's doing any good. mysty2001 did you began estrace due to a thin edometrium?
I am using estrace. I just started using it on yesterday...
i have used estrace
BUT I didn;t think you would ovulate normally on it?
weird
I needed a lot
but it got my lining good and thick
pregnant 3 x using it
Thank you! Me too! This might be our last hope to have a child of our own.
Oh, I see...well I think estrace will work then! I hope you get your BFP soon!
:-)
Thanks! My husband and I are trying to have a child. We went to the doc yesterday and founf out my endometrium is only about 3mm when it needs to be about 7-8mm. We are hoping the Estrace will help.
I haven't used it myself...but it should work, since it's an estrogen supplement and estrogen is what is responsible for building the lining in the first part of your cycle :-)
Best of luck!
