Estrace post IUI

Post by malb »

Hello,

I have been asked to start estrace 3 days post iui for priming for my IVF cycle next month and was told it would have no affect on me getting pregnant this cycle.
But the more I read I understand that too much estrogen post ovulation hinders embryo implantation.
This has got me worried.My lining has always been good and it was 10 on day of trigger
Pls advice.

The Estrace should not affect implantation since all IVF patients are on some estrogen after transfer.

The purpose of giving you the Estrace now is not to affect the endometrium but to suppress and synchronize the ovaries prior to stimulation instead of using birth control pills.
