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.

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 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.
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?
Avatar f tn Having written all that I'm not sure whether estrace is the same thing as estradiol- I thought it was but not sure? Anyway, just to clarify further in case it's the same.. the FDA looks at every drug about to go on the market and gives it a rating - A being the best and X being the worst for pregnancy. Pregnancy Category C, for instance, means the drug has caused abnormalities in animal fetuses but no human studies have been conducted.
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 was on it for years but the doc kept increasing my dose and lowering the estradiol. I was eventually a mess. 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.
Avatar f tn I was on the highest dose and about all it did was keep my vagina well lubricated so all the estrogen must have been going straight there and giving me no other benefits. I get much better results with the estradiol tablet (generic Estrace) which is a $4/$10 prescription in the U.S. If you want to go with transdermal delivery, gels or compounded creams are options. So is Femring but it is very expensive and seems like it seldom lasts the full 3 months.
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 I love what you said to the doctor. Man... that was great. 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 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.
1651832 tn?1301690605 Hi, It's been awhile since I've written anything about Estriol. It was touted as the next great thing about 10 years ago. 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.
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 f tn no they didn't thaw the embies. it was a medicated cycle. I started taking 6mg estradiol daily, just like I did for the last cycle. I didn't have any issues before. It just made my period come early. Maybe the lining built up too quickly or something. IT really *****.
Avatar f tn Ask him about using a vaginal estrogen cream instead of a pill. Or even about using the estradiol vaginally.
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...
Avatar f tn I recently had some lab-work done, yet I am confused as to what the results mean. All my Physian said was to worry about dropping weight vs. my result #s, yet I am still curious as to what the mean. My FSH is 2.0 and Estradiol 41pg/ml. Any feedback is greatly appreciated lay it on me regardless of if it is good OR bad. Thank you in advance.
