  I start the cycle at 1 pill per day, increase to 2 and then eventually to 3, then once my lining looks good, back down to 2 pills through early pregnancy. But I THINK my pills are only 2mg each. Is have to check the bottle, which is at home. As for side effects, I don't get much. Sometimes the emotions are just from all the stress, but hormones do weird things to people too. Hard to say!

  Married my wife 8/2007 ~ TTC #1 since 7/2011
  9 IUIs = 9 BFNs
  IVF October 2012: 22 eggs retrieved, 17 fertilized, 5 frozen
  ET #1: 1 blast = BFP; Blighted ovum discovered at 7w5d; D&E
  FET #1: 1 blast = BFP; Missed m/c discovered at 9w5d; D&E
  Karyotyping: normal ~ RPL Testing: normal ~ Hysteroscopy: normal
  FET #2: 1 blast transferred 10/25; BFP 10/31!
  EDD 7/13/14 ~ Induced at 37w4d due to pre-eclampsia ~ Born on 6/28/14
  *Everyone welcome*

  That sounds like a lot. I do patches and start with 1 every other day, then increase to 4 every other day. When is your blood test and lining check? I would expect if its too high they'd reduce your dose. Normal to feel weepy and sensitive. Just remind yourself "its the hormones, not me" as much as you can.

  Thanks to you both!
  
  It feels like quite alot from what I'm reading.
  
  Lining check & hormones are on Saturday - I'll check in with the Doc around then if we might be able to dial it back a little bit if everything looks good. 
  
  Hormones are hard.  Just trying to hang out in my office and forgive myself for not being as productive as I could be these days.... hopefully that spark I had comes back at some point!

  For me, the estrogen makes me feel groovy . The progesterone is like injecting pms in my body and I don't much like that at all.
