- 2nd blood test today:/ UPDATE w blood results...estrace, really?????!!
I'm so nervous. It's taken so much work just to get to this point. I've haven't been myself especially this past wknd. Very snappy cranky emotional. I know it has to be the progesterone but geez. I'm so bloated from the meds my poor veins are tired from all the bloodwork. Plus I'm tired ALL the time. Trying to stay positive but the anxiety is crazy.
UPDATE
So my tests results came back. Progesterone dropped from 29 to 8.6 and estrogen 737 to 75. They upped my endometrin to 2 in am and 2 in pm and added Estrace to my lineup of meds.... Ugh not the news I was hoping for.... :(
PS. They told me to take the Estrace vaginally even though it says orally. Um the pill is so tiny! I had to double check the Internet to make sure I heard correctly. Oh I did. And she you will see a blue discharge..., awesome!!!! 
I'm scared for Friday now :(

Did they call you with your levels? I'm disappointed bc my Friday levels were good but my levels today were really low. They upped my endometrin and now I have to take estrace. Vaginallly! I have to get this tiny ass pill up there and I ws told not to worry if I discharge blue? Really???
I'm holding out hope but it was a big drop in levels. ;(

I took estrace (the oral pill) vaginally before and remember that blue discharge well. Hey if it works, it's worth it!
My surrogate was told to use this protocol as well, back when I had one. It's not so uncommon, even though it sounds odd. Good luck! And wear a liner.......

I had to use suppositories (Crinone) and estrace at my old clinic. I put the estrace on the tip on the crinone applicator to help get it in.

I am surprised that you are doing the estrogen vaginally with the suppository. My RE does not like to mix them.

No, they didn't call me yesterday so everything must have been ok. I've been on Endometrin 1 in the morning and 2 at night since ER, and Estradiol 2mg orally twice daily since ET. That was just my post post ET blood so we shall see what happens thurs. FINGERS CROSSED FOR US!!!!!

Re: - 2nd blood test today:/ UPDATE w blood results...estrace, really?????!!
I asked them to call me w my levels regardless if they were good or not. First blood test post transfer was good- no changes in meds. 1 endometrin in am. 2 in pm. No estrace. Now that 2nd post transfer blood test came back and levels were low they upped my endometrin to 2 in am and 2 in pm plus now I have to take Estrace 2x a day but vaginally. I read vaginally it gets to where it needs to go quicker then through the bloodstream. Makes me nervous. I wanna test now but I'm scared. :/

I usually ask them to also, for some reason this time i didn't and it's killing me  LOL. I will definitely ask this time. I don't know about the estrace, but my estradiol pills are TINY...yeesh! All for a good cause thoguh right

My progesterone and estrogen were very low when I was pregnant with DS. The drop in levels isn't definitely a bad sign!! Hang in there. Have you tested?

This gives me hope! Thank you. ;) I have been good and haven't tested yet. I'm going to wait till my BETA test Friday to find out if it worked. Just can't bring myself to do it right now.

They didn't originally call me w my levels. I called and left MSG saying I would like my levels. Apparently when you go for blood test you have to specifically tell the nurse you want a call either way. Estrace is the estradiol pill and it's tiny. Are you taking it by mouth? Yes it's not fun trying to get it up in there. Did I mention it leaks blue so now I'm a smurf... Yes all for a good cause. ;)
