[Mrsplant]

Well ive been doing IVF for a long time but the letter as me a lil confussed it said i will be taking oestradiol valerate is that HRT?? Its just confused to me because it says (TDS) but later on in the letter it says HRT.

Hi Mrsplant. For future reference OD is once a day, BD is twice a day, TDS is 3 times a day, as already said and QDS is 4 times a day. "HRT" usually refers to hormone replacement therapy. Hope that helps and good luck! Diane
