Trouble TTC

CD 3 Ultrasound

Has anyone ever had their "baseline" ultrasound for Clomid monitoring on any day other than CD 3?  It's looking like we're going to be out of town on my CD 3.  Does that mean I'm out for the cycle?

Re: CD 3 Ultrasound

  • I would think you could CD 2 or CD 4 or 5 with no problem and just start the clomid on CD 5.

    Are you going to be home any of those days?

    I usually go on day 3 and start clomid on day 3 but I believe i went in once on day 2 for monitoring.

  • I've gone in once on CD4 and once CD5....if it's after CD3, they'll just start the clomid on CD5 -9.

    I'm taking clomid and wasn't monitored before taking it.  I do go on day 21 for a progesterone test?

    can someone explain the significance of monitoring before taking clomid?

    Are you going in to be monitored any other days?  If so,, when?

    Thanks.  I'm so glad to hear that some of you ladies have done the ultrasound on a day other than CD 3.

    I can be home on CD 2 or 4 or 5 but, on what I believe the doc will count as CD 3, we'll be going to a wedding and staying in a hotel room that's already paid for!

    You will be fine!  I know my RE said any of those days would work.  

    Have fun at the wedding.  Smile

    If  you're seeing a reputable RE (and that IS the only person who should be giving you Clomid, not your GP, not your OBGYN), you should be monitored before starting a clomid cycle (CD3 monitoring), sometime mid cycle (CD10-13) and then 7 days past ovulation, which is NOT the same thing as CD21. If you are getting any less than his, then your doctor is risking your health and wasting your recommended 6 lifetime cycles of clomid.
