Thin lining for Fet - vaginal estrogen

HiIve just had my latest scan and my lining is still only at 6. I'm already taking estrogen orally and have juat started on the patches. I've read that vaginal estrogen may be better absorbed. I've asked my clinic and they have said that the oral tablets can also be inserted vaginally but I thought I read that vaginal estrogen was more like a suppository? Is anyone else taking vaginal estrogen and could advise? Thanks

Hi. For my last transfer I was taking progynova orally 3 times a day. My lining wasn't ready so the clinic told me to take a fourth dose but vaginally. I was a bit baffled as they were tiny oral tablets! I put it in at night just before I went to sleep. Another 5 days and my lining had improved enough for the transfer to go ahead. Good luck with your embryo transfer.
