In the time leading up to the FET cycle, you’ll take medication to decrease ovarian activity. This may be a type of birth control pill or a hormone injection. After about 10 days of taking this medication, we’ll administer the hormone estradiol. You can request that your doses of estradiol come from a pill, injection, or patch. Once you have high enough levels of estradiol, we’ll inject progesterone into the muscle or prescribe a pill. If the pregnancy is successful, you’ll continue to take estradiol and progesterone as prescribed. Should you have any concerns about these medications, feel free to address them with our staff.
