Hi all. I hope everyone's doing well. Kay, I think your lining check's tomorrow - I hope those shots and patches are doing their job! Justine and Shelly - I hope your 5 little guys are doing well. 
I've got a protocol question. On the IVF front, there are so many differences in what folks are doing. It seems like our experiences should be a little more similar (since they're just trying to make us happy, healthy homes for our little guys to grow). But I see some are doing patches, others shots. I meet with the nurse coordinator Friday, so I'd like to have a sense of what others are doing.
I'm on lupron for 4 weeks up to the ER. 2 weeks before the ER I start on estrogen shots (IM) 2x week, and when our donor does the ER, I start PIO shots (hopefully for a long time). For some reason I thought going this route would at least save me some shots - alas no. 
Hope everyone's having a good week. -B
