Estradiol Valerate (E2V)
Estrogen hormone also used to prepare the uterine lining for implantation. It is mostly used in embryo recipients or surrogates. Women using their own eggs during an IVF cycle do not need estrogen since the ovaries are producing it already. It is administered intramuscularly and sometimes via suppositories.
Common side effects include pain, swelling and rash at the injection site, breast tenderness, bloating, nausea and spotting.
E2V stands for estradiol valerate under the brand name delestrogen. They give these injections every 3rd day

Brand Name: Delestrogen
Estrogens have been reported to increase the chance of womb (endometrial) cancer in women who have been through menopause, especially in women who receive estrogen-only hormone therapy. Contact your doctor immediately if you experience any unusual vaginal bleeding. Estrogens may also increase the risk of cancer of the ovary or breast. Estrogen-containing products should not be used to prevent heart disease. Estrogen given with another hormone (progestin) for replacement therapy can infrequently cause heart disease (eg, heart attacks), stroke, serious blood clots in the legs or lungs (pulmonary embolism/deep vein thrombosis), dementia, and cancer of the breast. These risks appear to depend on the length of time Delestrogen is used and the amount of estrogen per dose. Therefore, Delestrogen should be used for the shortest possible length of time at the lowest effective dose so that you obtain the benefits and minimize the chance of serious side effects from long-term treatment. Consult your doctor or pharmacist for details.
Delestrogen is used for:
Treating certain symptoms of menopause (eg, hot flashes, vaginal itching, burning, or dryness). It is used to treat low levels of estrogen caused by certain conditions. It may be used to treat certain types of prostate cancer (advanced androgen-dependent). It may also be used for other conditions as determined by your doctor.
Delestrogen is a female estrogen hormone. It works by replacing natural estrogens in a woman who can no longer produce enough estrogen.It works for advanced prostate cancer by antagonizing male hormones.
Do NOT use Delestrogen if:
you are allergic to any ingredient in Delestrogen
you are pregnant or suspect you may be pregnant, or you have vaginal bleeding of abnormal or unknown cause
you have a history of known or suspected breast cancer (unless your doctor tells you otherwise)
you have any other estrogen-dependent cancer
you have the blood disease porphyria, or a history of blood clots or liver problems
you have had a recent (within the past year) stroke or heart attack
Contact your doctor or health care provider right away if any of these apply to you.
