  Hello!  This is what the doctor is trying to do for me right now as well...
  I went to get my blood drawn yesterday (CD17) and they said it showed I haven't ovulated yet this cycle.  They are bringing me back for bloodwork on Friday and then if that proves that I have ovulated I will start taking Estrodil (sorry- I think I am spelling that wrong) twice a day until I get my period.  Then I go back for BW and sonogram on CD2 so I can hopefully start the injections that night.  The reason they are using the Estrogen instead of the birth control pills for me is because I have been cancelled for 2 IVF cycles in a row and this should be a little faster and it avoids the BCP which really induces my anxiety.  Sorry, I can't give any further info because I haven't started it yet...
  
  Good luck!!!  I hope this works for you!

  I am doing Antigon (I think) and estrogen patches. Then will move on to stims. This is the last try my clinic will do with me.
