The question
I am 51 years old and preparing my post menopausal hormones for the next 3 months before a FET transfer.
Researching it online, I have read Cyclical Estrogen Therapy for someone my age is 2 weeks off and 2 weeks on progesterone, with consistent estrogen.
However, my doctor prescribed 3 weeks of oral Estradiol (8mg a day), 1 week Medroxyprogesterone (10mg a day) for a 28 day cycle.
I can't understand why I'd stop taking estrogen and I heard abruptly stopping estrogen could cause a heart attack or stroke.
Are you able to confirm with me that the dosage schedule I was given is wrong? There isn't a lot of information about this out there and I would really appreciate the help!
Answer from Dr. Geoffrey Sher
I am afraid that this needs to be discussed with your primary GYN.
Good luck!
