estrogen patches, any experience?

July 27 2012 at 7:34 AM		Summer  (no login)
I am new to this board. This will be my first cycle, ever. I was diagnosed with early ovarian failure in my teens and I have always known that I would try using donor eggs. I have not done regular IVF or any other cycle. My doc is doing a mock cycle to see how my body responds to the estrogen. I went in for my first us and bloodwork and my lining was too thin and my estrogen level was too low. The patches are sticking and I have been perfect with following instructions. Any one have experience with these vivelle patches and did they work? What preparations have you guys used?
These patches are costing me a fortune plus starting to irritate my skin. She added more patches and estrace pills as well. Hoping everything is good next week!
