Is it bad to take extra Estrace?

For the life of me, I can't remember if I took my evening Estrace.  I've tried to retrace my steps and I just can't remember so I thought it was safer to take an extra than to take one less.... Think this is okay????

    Is the script new?  It should say on the bottle how many were in there and if you know when you started, maybe you could count out to see if pills are missing or not?

    I am not sure how much you take, but I take two in the morning and two in the evening...so 4 total. I think you are okay if you take an extra one.

    i was also taking 4 a day.  Plus vivelle patches.  so lots of estrogen!  I would say this is okay unless you have a history of high estrogen.  Best bet is to call the on-call nurse.

    I was taking 5 a day. Maybe count them like McIrish said. I also set reminders on my phone. When it beeped, I took them. It made it easier to remember.

    I looked at the label to see if there was a number of how many pills were in the bottle when it was new, but I couldn't find anything.  I took the extra pill  to be safe.  I think it'll be okay. (my last two cycles I was on 4/day)

    I have reminders set on my phone as well and I remember shutting off the alarm when it went off last night, but I just can't remember if I actually dug through my purse to find the bottle and then take it.  I think I was in the middle of a conversation with DH and I just turned off the alarm and put my phone away.  Ugh!

    I'll pay much closer attention from now on!
