  Thanks everyone!  I am start the estrogen patches today,  Course DH picked up meds for me a few weeks ago.  He got all the instructions.   Today at 6am he asks "do we put the patch on in the morning or at night when you take lupron?"  I don't know!   

  Unless I hear differently I am going with this morning after the shower.

  
  

  Any input from the more experienced?

   

   

  PetraStonegirl:

  
  

   

  ETA: And, I found the wait to get the phone call from the clinic telling us we had embies to be the worst. It took so much longer to get the call than I thought it should. But, one day when I wasn't thinking about it, the clinic called and let me know that we had not just the two guaranteed embies, but three. Best day. 

  Thanks Petra!  I am counting on the 2 we were guranteed but hoping for more.  Glad to know it is a possibility!!!
