Missed dose of estrogen

KLake42

Okay, so I'm an idiot. I'm on 2mg of estradiol, twice a day (4mg total) in pill form, 5 weeks, 3 days pregnant after fresh transfer of donor embryo (my wife's egg). Last night, I forgot my evening estradiol pill. I'm on schedule for progesterone.

Doctor says to just stick to my schedule moving forward. 

I know that it's probably fine, but has anyone here missed a dose, and have things been fine for you? It would be reassuring to hear. And I appreciate a reality check, too, if things weren't fine for you.

Hey girl, I missed a dose of my estrogen patches at around 4 weeks and it made me incredibly nervous, but the clinic was very reassuring. I'm currently 4 months pg, so as you can see it didn't hurt anything. I think as long as it doesn't repeatedly happen, it shouldn't be any issue. I hope this helps in some way. Congratulations on your pregnancy!!

Hey! I felt like a total idiot after I forgot for three whole days that I was supposed to start my estrogen and progesterone.  Oops. So I missed six doses of both and no harm done--just passed the 12 week mark. h&h 9 months to you!!

Breathe! You and your lil one will be fine.
It happens, and it sucks on your conscious, but one missed dose is not harmful. 
Just make sure it doesn't happen again as you don't want it to become a habit.
Wishing you a happy and healthy nine months!
