Thanks Shelley. Our protocols are similar except with one HUGE difference - you're doing this without shots!?!? Mine is all shots, which is quite a pain (no double meaning intended). And per my schedule, my first shot is when I'm going to be on travel for work - in a hotel room in Phoenix. Not my idea of an auspicious way to start off. I'm going to at least lobby my doctor for the estrogen patches. Seriously, you're maintaining triplets on the patches! Thanks for sharing your protocol.  B
