Day 5 - Progesterone lozenge: 3x a day
           - Endometrin insert: 3x a day
           - Estradiol tablet: 3x a day 

Estradiol is simply estrogen. During the early part of the menstrual cycle, estradiol levels remain nearly constant. This is followed by a rapid increase reaching a peak the day before or of the LH (Leutinizing Hormone) surge, also known as ovulation. It is generally believed that the rise in estradiol is the factor which triggers the LH release. Following ovulation there is a drop in estradiol followed by a second rise which corresponds with the formation of the corpus luteum. Some REs (Reproductive Endocrinologists) prescribe estrogen supplements to help support the growth of the endometrium.
