[quote=Anonymous]Poster from yesterday AM back. Since it’s helpful to you, OP,  I looked in my email & found one to my friend (the one who ended up at CCRM.). The super-neurotically detailed email is copied/pasted below - maybe you will find all of these details helpful as my friend did :) once again, all the best to you - this whole IF thing sucks.

“Hey! Here’s what I did.... ugh.
Did NOT use BCPs to time start; use natural ovulation as start date
(worried about oversuppression with a BCP start since my FSH was apparently 
high):

10 days past ovulation: estrogen patch (0.1 mg) -- replace every other day
12 days past ovulation: replace estrogen patch (0.1 mg)
14 days past ovulation: replace estrogen patch (0.1 mg)
day 1 of period: replace estrogen patch (0.1 mg)
day 2:  ULTRASOUND & blood work; 250 IU gonal-f, 75 IU menopur, continue patch
day 3:  250 IU gonal-f, 75 IU menopur, replace estrogen patch (0.1 mg)
day 4: 250 IU gonal-f, 75 IU menopur, continue patch
day 5: 250 IU gonal-f, 75 IU menopur, replace estrogen patch (0.1 mg)
day 6: ULTRASOUND & blood work; 250 IU gonal-f, 75 IU menopur, continue patch
day 7: 0.25 mg cetrotide, 250 IU gonal-f, 150 IU menopur [remove patch]
day 8: ULTRASOUND & blood work; 0.25 mg cetrotide, 200 IU gonal-f, 225
IU menopur
day 9: 0.25 mg cetrotide, 375 IU menopur
day 10: ULTRASOUND & blood work; 375 IU menopur, 250 ug ovidrel at 7:30 PM
day 11: no drug
day 12: retrieval (propofol; miss 1/2 day of work; can't drive the
whole day) -- used ICSI and assisted hatching -- got 8 eggs, 6 mature,
6 fertilized, 6 blasts
day 17: transfered 2 and froze the other 4 (supposed to be on bed rest
but had work & couldn't -- lied to Dr. about it, but obviously this
didn't affect the outcome...)

I also took doxycycline and a low dose of a steroid (I forget which
one) around the egg retrieval.  Started progesterone vaginal
suppositories (endometrin) after the retrieval and continued until
week 8 of pregnancy (She checked my progesterone levels at 7+ weeks
and since it was high enough I could stop, but she forgot to tell me
that).

All drugs were subcu injections, here's the name of the patch and a
list of the expensive stuff:
Estrogen patch (Vivelle, I think): 6 patches (0.6 mg)
gonal f: 1700 IU
menopur: 1500 IU
cetrotide: 0.75 mg
ovidrel: 25 ug”[/quote]
