Monitoring is expensive. The appointment is $70 (35 back), ultrasound is $70 (35 back) and the trigger is $90 (nothing back). So all up each month I am out the cost of the clomid ($15) plus the 160 for monitoring... 175 a cycle.

I also had to pay a management fee / planning fee when we first organised our fertility plan.

Am I paying too much? Maybe I need a new FS.

Woah! I'm not paying anything for my monitoring. I'm having BTs and then I have an ultrasound and if I get the trigger that's all I have to pay for which is $44.

hhhmmm there is probably no reason you have to be monitored, the risk of multiples is fairly small (although a friend had twins on clomid), you basically need to take the tablets, do lots of bding at the right time & hope for the best. you could go to your gp & get a pathology form for day 21 progesterone from them so you at least know you are ovulating

[Williever]

Maruschke - I am pretty cautious naturally.....Maybe ask them why they feel the need to monitor you. They may have a good reason. If not, then change the plan! It's sad to think that some doctors use this difficult time to make money.......

My old doc did, but I could just smell it a mile away so made changes.

[Maruschke]

Wow I am glad I went for the scan. About CD12, lining 8mm, and THREE mature (20mm+) follies. He sent me away without a trigger, and with a stash of condoms. Apparantly we can try on our own if we want but he is advising against it. D'oh! Makes me reconsidering taking it unmonitored, I was only on 50mg CD2-6. Next (monitored) cycle I am going down to 25. Darn PCOS.

[Mollie89]

Maruschke - Even though you have been advised not to BD, Im glad that the Clomid is working.. It gives me so much hope! And I guess now your kinda glad for the monitoring

[Mollie89]

Oh Hun! Words can not describe how sad I am for you!

If you want to chat at any time just send me a message

[Williever]

Maruschke - I am so sorry! I didn't expect to see that message, and I bet you didn't expect to see AF! Oh hun......we are all here for you when you want to talk

Maruschke- Im sorry hun I just wanted to say i also had a really short LP on my second cycle of clomid and even my OB was like Then I fell pg on the third cycle so i don't know what happened there.....it was just weird. My OB was going to up my dosage for month four to 100mg but i didn't end up needing it.
for you xx

Hi girls, i really miss you guys!

Tasha, im so sad ur still here! We started at the same time.....hopefully we'll both have a bump soon! xx

[minniemouse]

Maruschke: so sorry to hear af is here, where do you go from here ?
