So the nurse practitioner who did my HSG said everything looked open and great so we are on for the IUI this month. I go Friday a.m. for an ultrasound to do a follie check...it occurs to me that I don't really know why they are doing this. Do they want to make sure follicles are developing and I'm going to ovulate. I would hope there is more than one right? Or is that only when you are doing an egg retrieval?

I've not done an IUI but I assume you are doing injections or clomid/femara with your IUI, right?
I do just injections w/TI and they do an u/s check for me. It's to make sure you have no cyst, your lining is good, and your follies are growing/developing properly. I'm going to assume they will do another one before the IUI. I was checked every few days before they have me do a trigger and they also took blood each time to check my hormone level.
Congrats, I'm so glad you get the go ahead on this cycle! What meds are you on and are you doing TI or IUI?

When I had my IUIs, they checked my follicles every few days to make sure they were developing and to be sure i had a few good ones. But i was on injectables, not sure how it works otherwise.
Thanks! I took femara CD 3-7 and then I have a prescription for Ovidrel if I don't get a +OPK. I think the plan is only to do this one follie check..I guess unless something goes wrong with that one.
