Avatar f tn ( I am not using estrace, but Progyluton (estradiol valerate). my husband and me currently living overseas so they dont have estrace , only Progyluton tablet :sss I know that there are other ways to take estrogen such as cream and patches... but its not available here. I tried to order it online, but they need prescription from verified dr in the usa. My doc in the usa said he cant give me one now because he have not seen me for while.
Avatar f tn I did iui in Dec and my clinic placed me on estrace and progestrone suppos. I was trying to differentiate the symtoms from estrace to early pregnancy symptoms. I just found out a few minutes ago that the iui failed. Kindd, I don't know where you are but I am in Toronto and I wanted to know how I can find the top clinic in Toronto that specializes in IUIs. How can I search for one.
Avatar n tn As an alternative to vagifem, you can get prescribed estring. The other alternatives are creams--Premarin and Estrace vaginal creams but use them under prescription. It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
Avatar f tn i took estrace/estradiol from CD21 until my AF two cycles. not sure if lupron is just a brand name for estrace. but i was not told to abstain from TTC beforehand. i asked why and RE said if you do not get AF 14 DPO then they will do a preg test and take you off. but it does not harm the baby.

894186 tn?1241478177 There are many varieties of localized estradiol now. I have used Estrace in the past (you use if initially for two weeks vaginally and then about three days a week after that) and I am about to start the Vagi-string, I think it is called. It is also Estradiol (make sure to ask for this and not a synthetic localized product...there is a huge difference). It is used in just that part of the body and will work to keep things moist and vital.
Avatar n tn I have heard that endocrinologists are not all they are "cracked up to be." Is this a primary care or gynecologist who will not prescribe Estrace tablets? Estrace is "bio-ID" (micronized estradiol) just like the gel but he probably does not like that it is oral since that has a higher clot risk. I do not swallow my tablets. I dissolve them between cheek and gum which pretty much bypasses the first pass through the liver.
778044 tn?1299542934 The nurse wanted to put me on estrogen for the next couple weeks to try and build up the lining. I am on 2 mg of Estrace (actually the generic is called estradiol) which is inserted vaginally. It's just a little pill that I am supposed to put in my vagina I guess. Anyone else taken this before????
Avatar f tn Hi, This is my first time having a frozen embryo transfer (FET) and the doctor has prescribed 4mg of Estrace a day for 8 days and then 6mg for another 8 days before the transfer. Now that I read the prescription, it says that it is classified as type X drug, NOT to be taken while pregnant or breastfeeding, as it causes birth defetcts!!! What should I think?
Avatar n tn And, it was honest. I so often feel the same way. I take estradiol (the only estrogen to use in my opinion) and Testosterone. My husband has been trying to get to the root of some problems that have caused a huge lack of desire... we think it is related to Sleep apnea and he will be tested... yeah! But, when I mentioned this to my doctor, he said, "Oh, you don't need the testosterone, then.

Avatar f tn Which are better? I'm on injecctions, 1ml of progesterone a day, and 0.2 estradiol every 3rd day. But I've seen many web pages that say the jelly is better...vaginal suppositories? That they provide a higher pregnancy rate. is this true?
1651832 tn?1301690605 It was used (and probably still is) in Bi-est, which is an estrogen combination of Estradiol and Estriol that you can usually only pick up from a Compounding pharmacy. It was big in Europe (as I recall...) but it was because it was tougher to get it here in the US and the push to use mostly or only Estradiol was not as prevalent at that time. It was also supposed to be the next big thing regarding protection against breast cancer.
Avatar f tn I have been helped by cutting out the Progesterone and just using testosterone and Estradiol. You can find more information on this from Dr. Vliet and any of her great books. Other problems include vaginal atrophy and dryness, all of which can alter the position of the ureter. I, for one, refuse to stand upside down to finish urinating, but I have had to do that from time to time.
Avatar f tn I'm taking estrace 4 mg daily and have also taken estradiol before, and have not had a problem with vertigo. Why do you associate it with the estradiol? I thought positional vertigo had to do with little calcifications in the inner ear breaking off wherever they are attached and floating around. Do you think this comes from estrogen use? I had heard it came from something else.
Avatar m tn I personally found generic Estrace (micronized estradiol tablets) to work better for me than the patch. And a bonus is that it is a $4 (for 30) / $10 (for 90) prescription whereas I think I was paying $70 for a 3 month supply of patches.
1047147 tn?1328906154 after one 3cm fibroid removal.. I was on estrace/estradiol and progesterone..for a month. Is this a temporary estrogen fix as i would call it, will my fsh levels rise again.. The Re says my levels are perfect right now and will proceed with putting me back on lupron and etc....
1047147 tn?1328906154 I had the d/c for fibroid feb 6, up till that date i was on Lupron,,, Then I started on the estrace/generic estradiol and started the progesterone on day 15.. My breasts feel like if i dont wear a bra they going to fall off, and cramping like its coming but im usually 30 days, now im day 35 .. anyone been like this..
Avatar n tn s office calls me today and says that they have prescribed me estrace (generic estradiol) and that it will pause my cycle till Tuesday. By Tuesday insurance matters should clear-up and then I can start taking the injections. Tomorrow is the 5th day of my cycle and the injection should have theoretically started on Day 5. This is my first IUI attempt. My concern is I don't want to take medications that I don't need.
Avatar f tn Women who use the Vivelle patch or Climara patch are using estradiol supplementation.... Estrace is also Estradiol and it is a bioidentical form of the estradiol so that it mimics completely the Estradiol that the body used to make in abundance during the reproductive years.
Avatar f tn I just went through asking this question last week : ) Because I was REALLY confused. Here is my senario... I took estrace 3x's a day by mouth from day 1 of cycle 3/6/10. I went to the Re on 3/18 for my "check" before a 3/23 FET. My uterus was only 5.9mm Needless to say, he postponed the transfer and upped my estrace to estrace 3x's a day...
589713 tn?1255699571 Once I got my dose of Estradiol increased and my script for localized Estrace (for vaginal use and it, too, is bio estradiol) then things improved dramatically. And, to be honest, prior to correcting this, it was not so much a problem for me as it was for him. But, I have had some bleeding on occasion from the dryness as well as more frequent yeast infections (also low estradiol related) as well as 'leaky bladder." (I know I have repeated myself here).
507564 tn?1243193855 Does anyone know why my bloodwork would show my estradiol at 385 and 900? The first blood work I had done in May it was 900 and now the bloodwork I had done last week showed it was 385? I had the blood done on CD3 both times...what does this mean? i have searched the web and it said on CD3 your estradiol should be under 80, mine is way too high.
Avatar f tn In the last year, I would say that the symptoms including hot flashes, have been unbearable at times and have been more frequently and more severly. He has increased the dosage since and where the hot flashes are subsiding, the mood swings are now way out of control. Watching a commercial can literally send me into a complete crying tail spin.
Avatar f tn I did 2 FET and they put me on lupron and estrace and had no bleeding problems. I understand how you feel but you have your embryos and can try next month.
197575 tn?1215532624 Is there a difference between a complex nodule and a complex cystic nodule? I know complex means both solid and cystic. My friend's ultrasound call it a complex cystic nodule. Thanks.
