Do you mean the estradiol pill? Are you using the Vivelle dot while taking the estradiol? Did your physician recommend this? Does your physician know that you have done this?
A red flag went up in my mind because estradiol is a form of estrogen in an oral form while the Vivelle dot is estradiol in a transdermal form (absorbed through the skin). Unless I am wrong, by using the dot and taking the pill, you are overdosing on estradiol (synthetic estrogen).
Unless your physician prescribed using both forms of estradiol, for a specific reason, do not use the two together.
