Estrogen patches for FET- can someone please answer a Q for me ?
On the package and in the pamphlet, it says multiple times " DO NOT USE IF PREGANT OR IF YOU ARE PLANNING TO BECOME PREGNANT" 
According to my FET calendar, the patches are used from day one of the cycle till day 28...
The nurse called the script in , so now I'm worried that the pharmacy gave me the wrong ones or something 
They are called Vivelle (DOT) ...
My cycle hasn't began yet, so I have time to call the RE and ask, but I was wondering if anyone else's Estrogen patches said the same thing because I am really confused...
Thanks !

Re: Estrogen patches for FET- can someone please answer a Q for me ?
When I did my IVF I used the packages and asked about that. I forget what the answer was, but I know I still used them.
I frekkin hated those patches though. I reacted badly to them and after that one time, I stuck with the pills.

I took the same ones and wondered about the warning too. I don't remember asking about it though. Let me know if you need any. I have extra left over.
I didn't have any reactions.

I only had the patches for the fresh IVF cycle and they prescribed me the pills for my FET.
The patches I changed i think every other day, but I was so paranoid about them falling off and stuff.

well from what i heard the estrogen pills(or whatever form you of estrogen you take) are used for women who go through menopause (which is why insurance didn't cover it for me).

Re: Estrogen patches for FET- can someone please answer a Q for me ?
Vivelle Dot or Estrogen patches are considered to be on drug list X and that's why they have to make the disclaimer about pregnancy multiple times. There has not been studies to show any correlation between negative effect on pregnancy with estrogen patches but also, there has not been ENOUGH studies done to see if there is a definite negative effect. With this reason, this drug is on the X list for women. If you are really concerned, you should contact your dr. ASAP.
I was prescribed the vivelle dot and instructed to wear it 10 days after my LH surge in a natural cycle and continue to wear it until first day of period. THe purpose for me was to lower my FSH, which it did.

Fortunately I have some time before I will need to start them, so I am definately going to call the RE to confirm these are the ones I am supposed to use !
