Question : Hi there!

I just had Frozen embryo transfer on Monday and I have a few questions as I can't reach my doctor. She has me on 2 pills of estradiol, and 2 patches as well as progesterone in oil shots and endometrin suppositories. I am wondering why I need ALL of this medication after the transfer, I understand before the transfer to make sure the uterus is ready but the estrogen especially is killing me. I am so bloated and uncomfortable, and I am also so constipated (probably from the progesterone) - I hate these meds! How long do I really have to take them? ANd is it crucial? Thanks
