Clomid without Monitoring ?

[M22]

yes i gave up with opk too- pcos always gave me a2nd line. for me monitory gave me peace of mind also that it was working. so ob would measure the main egg or eggs he could see. and tell me when they were gonna pop!! with #2 first scan showed my eggs wre small may have to do IUI if doesnt work, siad to come back in a week and the he said i was ready and eggs were good andi was going to ov soon. I pref scans cause results are immediate. so i knew right then and there.

hope this round is successful for you

Hi there,

IMO I would have at least the pre-O scan as it this is the only way they can see if the dose is right for you ie: producing the follicle on time and not producing too many of them. Dose can be person specific and can be affected by things like PCOS. Maybe you will only need a couple of monitored cycles. The other stuff you can just monitor yourself like O and BBT to see how many days luteal you get etc.

Hi! I was on clomid for 5 cycles, for the very first cycle I got a bt at day 21 to confirm that I had O'ed, my gyno was happy with that and left me on my own. I fell pg on the 2nd cycle, but sadly m/ced but am now pg from cycle #5! Once ur on clomid try opks because ur hormones shld be stronger and hopefully they work so u can determine O time! I also found i got very tender right across my lower tummy for a couple days when i was about to O.
I honestly dont think its necessary for u to part with all that money.. if ur not pg after a couple cycles maybe consider it then??
Good luck!!

that charge is crazy there is no way it cost me that much at all. just my ob scan visits.

I liked having the scanning for all my clomid cycles. I think it was just the added benefit of knowing how my follicles were developing, how many etc.
I think not having it done just leaves you open to more surprises etc. IE too few or too many follicles maturing, or missing your ovulation times.

me to also seeing things on screen gave me reassurance and also a better insight to my body. plus for hte chance of concieving wre great because i knew exactly what my ovaries were up too.
