Hi, sorry, I don't know anything about what protocol 7 is so can't answer for sure. But I'm on long protocol and my hosp said that we shouldn't have unprotected sex from my period onwards. Protected sex was fine until couple of days before egg collection. Best of luck with your IVF

Hi snowwhite2705.  I agree with "Twistedwillow". Most protocols advise not to have unprotected intercourse until egg collection.  Good luck with the cycle. Diane
