Spotting

Last week I had a little bit of light spotting.  I wasn't sure if that was normal, so I contacted my fertility nurse.  She talked with Dr. Young and said they'd like me to add additional estrogen to my medications.  The point of using estrogen patches is to thicken the uterine lining in preparation for embryo transfer, so spotting is not ideal.  In order to absorb the estrogen most efficiently, I began taking an oral estrogen pill vaginally twice each day.  This is fairly simple, but I have been noticeably more tired and have experienced brain fog.  Hopefully these symptoms will lessen when I discontinue the vaginal pill.
