Brief Answer:
Letrazole can be used with Gonadotropins

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I understand your concerns.

Following is my reply:

1) Dotti patch contains estradiol and is not necessary during ovarian stimulation.

2) Letrazole can be used in combination with gonadotropin. Alone may not be efficient in your age.

3) Since you are already 39 with low ovarian reserve it’s ideal to go ahead with IVF treatment.

Let me know if you need anymore help.

What i don't understand is why my doctor prescribed Letrazole and Dotti patch to be used at the same time. Isn't Letrazole an anti-estrogens drug and Dotti Patch provides Estrogen? It doesn't make sense

Brief Answer:
Hormones are normal

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

You are right. But some situations warrant use of both. Letrozole also has androgenic properties to help ovulate.

Hormone results seem to be fine
