When do estrogen patches start for FET?

RE wants me to try these next cycle.  What cycle day do you start them are there any side effects from them?

I started patches when I started Estrace, so cd3(ish).  I had no s/es.  

If you get Vivelle Dots, they stay on like no one's business.  Be prepared to rub a little rubbing alcohol on the spot when you take them off - it works wonders on the glue goo, although I've heard some women say that baby oil works great, too.

I was literally going to ask the same question. lol! Thanks!

same time you start any estrogen...I started estrace and the patches pretty early in the cycle...maybe between cd3-5ish?  and the amount increased slowly.  Baby oil really does the trick to get the sticky residue off from the patches.  I didn't notice any side effects.

Good luck!
