Im slightly concerned i have heard of other women who take estrogen after embryo transfer but i have never taken this. In all 10 times of doing this ive only ever used progesterone dufaston and crinone . And ive used ovitrelle twice. First as trigger shot. And the second, 2 days after embryo transfer. What if i need estrogen too?

If you are doing a natural transfer frozen embryo transfer and haven't taken it before transfer or if its a fresh transfer then you wont need it after transfer so maybe that's the reason?xx

Whoops! I got myself confused there! Friday night and I’m clearly out of it. Thanks for correcting me. Xx

I have done 3 fresh cycles, 1st with estrogen, 2nd without, 3rd with. Currently in the 2ww on 3rd cycle. It's probably something your doctor decides on during the cycle depending if its needed or not. If it's worrying you I would just give them a quick call to ask the question and put your mind at rest xx

As others have said, you normally only take estrogen with a (medicated) frozen transfer. I’ve done three fresh and one frozen and I only ever took estrogen with the frozen one xx
