For those of you who have been monitored while on Clomid...

What day of your cycle did they check your response with ultrasound?  And did they draw any labs? 

I called the doctor's office today since AF started yesterday afternoon, needing to have the next round of Clomid filled.  They asked if I had had an US and was like 'uh no...' I swear communication in the medical world ticks me off.  I had wrongly assumed that the US would be after my second round...nobody at the office had told me different.  Anyway, I will have an US tomorrow on the third day of my cycle.  Had I known what was required, I would have called them yesterday afternoon.  So, I'm worried that I should have had the US this AM.  Now I have to call in sick tomorrow to be at the office early.  

Anyway, I just want to be prepared before I go in...if any of you have info. Thanks!

For my baseline and monitoring of this current cycle they did an u/s and blood draw for for LH, estradiol and progesterone levels at every appt.

My baseline was CD1 (CD3 should be fine).  Took clomid CD3-7, I went back for monitoring CD11, CD12 and then CD15, then triggered that night.

You should need monitoring again about CD12, so ask about making that appt...after that it depends on your response. GL!

I didn't realize that there could be that many steps...yes, hopefully I'll be able to make an appointment ahead of time for the next US.  I don't like using up my vacation days to call in 'sick' for monitoring...we are penalized if we call in too often within a certain time period without a signature from a doctor.   Thanks for the info.
