FROZEN EMBRYO TRANSFER

I have 3-4 years old embryo (day 3) and would like to get it transfered but not sure what hormonal therapy (if any) is involved and how many days I would have to take off the work.
Thank you in advance

My process has been easy too, although a lot of meds to keep track of!  My transfer is scheduled for Monday.

I started 2 estrogen pills 3x/day, 1 aspirin, and 1/2 tab metformin 3x/day from CD 2-14.
Today, CD 14, I'm adding 200mg progesterone suppositories 3x/day
3 days before the transfer I'm taking an antibiotic 2x/day

I've had 3 u/s and 3 blood draws but probably only needed 2.  

--> notice, no needles!! Woohoo. (aside from the blood work I guess)

If you look in my journal, the meds and the days are all written out for the protocal for my last transfer.  It really wasn't much at all. The only day I missed at work was the day of transfer. Pretty much estrogen patches from cd1 on and progesterone injections from cd13(I think) on.  It is really a cake walk compared to stims for IVF.
