Estrogen priming ?

Hi Dr Potter,

I have read a couple of posts on this and other forums that mention estrogen priming.

What is it and when is it used ?

Thankyou.

Thankyou.Estrogen priming involves administering estrogen, usually as the tablet estrace, for a few weeks prior to initiating stimulation for IVF. In my opinion, this can also be accomplished with BCPs and pre-treatment with DHEA accomplishes the same thing. I hope that this helps

U know how some patients can be over suppressed with the BCP is there the same risk with estrogen? Or does estrogen eliminates that risk.
