Estraderm MX100 patches on IVF

I need help with Estraderm MX100 patches as my doctor told me to start them 200mcg every alternate day. I started on Monday with one patch but today, I have changed it I realised that on the packaging reads "absorption rate: approximately 100 micrograms of estradiol in 24 hours" so my concern is if I'm doing well. I have called to the hospital but the nurse didn't help too much as she has told me to put 2 every alternate day but on the prospect reads "NEVER use two at the same time".

Any help will be much appreciated

I did similar to you, changing patches every other day and know a few others that have too so dont worry it seems fairly common practice. Good luck.xx

I have gotten the same instructions when I used them on my first ivf transfer so , i donot think the instructions are wrong. The only problem I had was the patches did leave marks on my skin that took months to disappear after finished using them. Good luck
