Low Estrogen

I am in the middle of my 2ww and my doc called me yesterday after my blood test to tell me my estrogen was low. I am now taking 6 pills a day of estradiol until my pregnancy test the day before Thanksgiving. Has anyone else had to do this? Any side effects I should be expecting? Right now I am also taking Progesterone shots and suppositories. Good luck to everyone.

When I did my last cycle, I took Estrace starting day after ER up until I got the negative beta.
But, when they did my last U/S before ER my estradiol was 1785, which was fine for the 9 follicles they saw. But the day of ER there were 19 follicles and my estrodiol was too low for that many follicles.
So, this cycle they added Repronex to my stim meds and I will still take the Estrace after ER.

Also, I didn't notice any major side effects with it other than hormonal changes, but that is to be expected.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
