Mixing Del Estrogen and PIO during FET cycle??

I searched and was surprised to not see any discussion on this.

My Question: During your cycle, have you mixed your Del E and your PIO into one injection on those days when you have to take both? I've been doing some research on this before I ask my RE and nurse tomorrow, but also wanted to do a pulse check here. I did separate injections this past Saturday, and it wasn't bad, but if I could do them in one injection that would be more convenient. 

My main concern would be formulation compatibility since the Del E and PIO are in different oils (castor vs sesame). Also, I don't know how compatible the active drugs are with the opposing oil. I'm not trying to screw up the efficacy of my dose, so if they don't mix, they stay separate!!

Thanks in advance for any responses! :)

    Hmm good question. I have never done estrogen injections, just patches and pills so thankfully the only shots are the PIO. Not that they're awesome but at least it's only one.

    ***siggy warning***

    I was on both and never mixed them.  The delestrogen was twice a week and the PIO was nightly.  Good thought on putting them in the same syringe.  Not sure of the answer.

    I *swear* this was just asked. Maybe on 3T or IF veterans? (I've been lurking a lot lately) ;)

    Have you tried searching any other boards? Might help to expand your search criteria. GL!

    Thanks for the responses. Just wanted to post that I got the answer I was expecting. No mixing. Since they are in different oils and there is no guarantee that efficacy is not effected by mixing. But I've got my routine down now, so the two syringes aren't so bad. :)
