Lol - that's funny picturing poor B shooting up in the hotel room...hopefully the maid doesn't walk in unannounced!

For what it's worth, here's our protocol:

Dec 12 started BCP
Jan 24 ended BCP
Started Lupron shots somewhere around then (all the dates have blurred together!)

2 days before donor's expected CD1, I started:
Azithromycin (antiobiotic) for 5 days (dh, too)
Estrogen patches (2 vivelle dots)

Baby aspirin
Folgard (folic acid)
Estrogen supps
continued Lupron

On day 8 of donor's stims, I up'd my estrogen patches to 4 vivelle dots.
Day before ER, I'll start Prog in Ethyl Oleate (I'll never go back to PIO - awful!).
Medrol and Prednisone prior to and following ER.
Three rounds of HCG shots following ER.
At week 7, I'll switch to a once a week prog shot plus prog supps.
I'll also be on prog, baby aspirin, folgard and estrogen patches (and supps I think) through first trimester.

It's interesting how different the protocols are, isn't it? I go once a week to a free mind/body session through my clinic and I'm fascinated that even with the same exact RE, our protocols are so different. That gives me some comfort that they're tailoring everything to each couple...
