Can Estrace Be Taken Instead Of Ovidrel Safely?

default
Posted on Wed, 22 Jun 2016
Question: I took letrozole day 5-9.. I usually ovulate on my own or just with letrozole no trigger shot . This time my doctor recommended me to take estrace and ovidrel and then have timed intercourse. My question is that Can I still take estrace without taking ovidrel? Would it stop the ovulation from happening since I already have positive on OPK...

Brief Answer:
Don't take ovidrel

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I understand your concerns.

Don't take ovidrel if you have OPK positive. Take only extracellular. Extracellular won't stop ovulation as opk is positive already. No use of taking ovidrel.

Let me know if you need anymore help.
