Key to table:

Blood and ultrasound = blood test for hormone levels and transvaginal ultrasound to measure follicle development in ovaries

R = done on recipient woman
D = done on egg donor

Lupron = subcutaneous injection of a medication called Lupron. Taken once daily.

FSH = subcutaneous injection of a medication containing follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), which causes follicles containing eggs to develop in the ovaries. The donor takes this.

HCG injection = intramuscular injection of a medication called HCG, which causes the eggs to mature. The donor takes this.

Estrogen = pills or skin patches containing estrogen. Used to develop a proper lining in the recipient woman's uterus

Progesterone = vaginal cream or suppositories or intramuscular injection of a medication called progesterone, which helps to prepare a receptive uterine lining for embryo implantation

Note:

The calendar shown above is an example of how the cycle stimulation may evolve. It is possible that the ovarian stimulation process on the egg donor would be shorter or longer than that shown above. The example above shows 9 days of stimulation (FSH shots). The average number of days of taking the FSH injections is 8-10, with the range being about 7-12.
