  I believe it is to help thicken your lining.

  I'm on it to thicken the uterine lining.  Not sure if there are any other reasons for it, but that's the conclusion I've come to!

  Estrogen is what causes your lining to grow and helps it get the "triple stripe" that is desired prior to transfer.

  Grazy--I know! I had a PE in 2006 and I never want it to happen again.  The estrogen is to make your uterine lining grow.  Since my lining grows well on its own, my RE says we are going to do a FET with a minimal estrogen dose, and using Ganirelix to prevent ovulation.

  That is very scary. Are you doing a natural FET cycle? I can't because I don't ovulate on my own (I have PCOS). Do you know what med and what dosage you are using?
