Hi there
I am taking Estrace 2mg (2 tablets three times per day) to maintain my lining while I wait for my donor's eggs. I forgot to take the Estrace two days in a row. What is the impact? I did take 1 dose the first day, 2 doses the second day. I have been on it for a total of 2 weeks and have about 10 days to go before the transfer. Thank you.

I think you should let your doctor know right away. It's important to stay coordinated with the donor. I don't personally know how this will affect the outcome. But there's no point in putting the donor through a donation that's not going to work. So let every the doctor know today.

Dear Asking:
Thank you for answering. I told my doctor this morning and he looked horrified. He asked me if there was any bleeding and I said no. Then he said, "Don't forget!" I asked him if I miss another one should I double the next dose and he just looked at me like I was insane and said, "DON"T FORGET!" I have been totally stressed out all day running to the BR to see if there is any bleeding.

Ha! That was kind of my reaction too.
Don't Forget. :)

Glad to hear you are not bleeding.
