Question BFP but low estrogen levels

I just got the results of my beta and it is 72.1 which is great but the doctor is concerned because my estrogen is really low. They are are calling in some estrogen patches for me to start using right away to raise my estrogen level enough to support the pregnancy. While I am thrilled beyond belief that I am pregnant, I am also scared that my body isn't doing what it's supposed to be doing. Has anyone else had this problem? Or used these patches? Please that the patches do their job and my estrogen goes up!!!

Lizzy- Congrats on being . I have not been in your situation but I can tell you this cycle I will start the estrogen patches 9 days after ER. I am sure it will do the trick. Best of luck.

I had a great first beta from my FET(84 7dp5dt), but they told me to not get too excited because my estrogen and progestrone numbers were low. They increased my estrace dose and added PIO (I was on Crinone only). My numbers went up and everything has been fine. Congrats on your and a great Beta!!!!!
