has anyone done this before?

My RE mentioned she was not going to put me back on BCP or Lupron for my upcoming FET but that she would have me on injectable estrogen instead of pills.......

any input?

I never did injectable Estrogen, neither pills, my RE prefers patches, and they work wonders for me.

Not sure I'm on patch as well, but it is another new thing and I think new is good! Let us know and KUP!!!!

I always used pills, but did do Delestrogen (injectable) one cycle. Maybe she's hoping the injections thicken up your lining better this time than the pills???

Aaaahh, another shot to add to your repertoire!!

Renee,

I did injectible estrogen on my successful cycle, it's just like the PIO shot, however I only had to inject every three days, not sure if t will be the same for you?

Hope this helps?

Hadn't heard of it, but it sounds great.... I'd have much preferred an injectible to the annoying sticky patches all over my belly! I think your RE is on the cutting edge of new technology.
