LEAP

Luteal Estrace/Antagonist Protocol. This is the new protocol being recommended by our RE for a future cycle. It seems (from what I've read) that it is an estrogen priming protocol. Basically, I call when I see ovulation based on OPK's and then start oral estrace. The next day I add an atagonist for 2 days. AF arrives after 2 days and then it's a baseline U/S. If all looks well then I start stims. 5 days into the stims I start the antagonist again (once follicles are 12-14mm) and continue until the trigger.
It's a lot to consider. DH and I know we aren't moving forward on the next cycle, February, as our RE suggested. We aren't ready that quickly. For now, we are thinking about it but trying not to obsess.
I am planning on getting into my acupuncturist to find out what she thinks. I want to have a good chance of this working if we move forward, so I want to do all I can TCM-wise to make that happen.
I'd also like to shed some of the weight I've gained through the past 6 months of IVF craziness.

On another note.... we've picked our daughter's name. Once we've told our family I'll post it here.
