question about monitoring appts for IVF

I'll probably have my baseline on Saturday so monitoring will be all next week and then some. I know they check your follies each time but is that all it is, a quick internal ultrasound and that's it? Just curious if they do anything else.

Also, did you have monitoring everyday while stimming, even early on? I thought it was every couple of days but it sounds like it's every day at my RE.

Thanks ladies!

    I was checked about every other day to every two days while stimming.  I got a trans-vag u/s and a blood draw.  It was fairly quick - less than 30 minutes.

    Right before I triggered, I went 4 times that week for checks - Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday.

    Good luck!!

    You do an u/s, blood work, and talk to a nurse. Your monitoring will depend on your response to the drugs.

    I had an appointment on day 5,6,8,9, and 10.

    My monitoring started on Stim Day 4, then went every other day (Day 6 & 8). At the end of stimming I came back two days in a row to make sure follies were ready for triggering.

    Every appt had an ultrasound and bloodwork.

    Good luck!!

    I went every other day while I was stimming except for at the end, I went twice in a row.  Each appointment was an ultrasound and bloodwork.  Because my RE was concerned about how many follies I was developing, I also had bloodwork done at a lab near my house a couple of times between appointments.
