estradiol patch after transfer

Post by snowb »

Hi, I'm new. 34, had fresh embryo transfer in June and failed, had FET in August and had a very weak positive blood test result. so doctor prescripted Climara (estradiol) patch, just had another blood test, now is negative :cry:

anybody used Climara after then transfer? All information I found on the web say it should not be used if you're pregnant. wondering what it could do after the transfer.

thanks.

Hi Snow .. I'm sorry you've had bad news. I didn't use the patches, but did take the tablets before / during / after my last FET. I think they're used to build up the womb lining, and to keep it nice and thick - giving baby embies as much chance as poss to have a nice snug bed to implant into ..!
