? re use of estrogen patches
Do any of you know why we have to continue to wear estrogen patches after we become pg? I am prescribed to wear 3, 0.1 mg patches; change 2 times a week. Plus the progesterone sup & injections. Is this because we did IVF? Or de IVF? or both.

Thanks

It's because of doing IVF. They want to make sure that you have the amount of Estrogen necessary to help maintain the pregnancy. It really has nothing to do with doing DE.
