Weight gain is typical in menopausal women as the body contains a low level of estrogen, which is responsible for regulating the metabolic process. Another factor of weight gain is women in the menopausal stage tend to be less active, resulting in fewer calories being burned. Hormonal replacements like this patch do not add to the reason for gaining weight, but they help reduce body fat and increase metabolic resting that slows down gaining weight.

IVF in vitro fertilization is an assisted reproduction by collecting sperm and egg combined in a laboratory. When one or more eggs is fertilized, it is implanted into the uterine lining. Minivelle is prescribed to help maintain estrogen levels in the woman’s body to get pregnant successfully, for estrogen plays a significant role in the reproductive system. The use of this patch thickens the uterine lining to prepare for the implant. It also helps the placenta function, boosts blood flow in the uterus, and prepares the body for breastfeeding after giving birth.
