Oral estrogen vs patches?

Question

Does anyone have experience with either of these for an FET, and which were you successful with? Also, how long did you need to stay on estrogen?
My dr wanted to put me on the patches but last time they gave me terrible headaches, so he said I can try the oral estrogen instead. I jus want to do whichever will be most successful.

Answer

I’ve never done the oral, but I had success with the patches. I used 4 Vivelle Dot patches and had them for about a week before my transfer until my 12th week of pregnancy.

Answer

I’ve done oral for my FETs and my lining has been thick enough for all three of my transfers.

Answer

I do injections twice a week. They worked well each time. My lining was great

Answer

I am on injections every 3 days and haven’t had any side effects but can’t speak to the oral or patches

Answer

I’ve used the patches and injections. I had success with both but if I had to choose I would say injection because my patches would fall off.  I only had to do the injections twice a week. 
Good luck

Answer

My doctor never even mentioned injections 🧐 is that the norm??
