Lilybella - thankyou for your kind thoughts. Some FS don't do u/s on the first couple of cycles. I guess you have to decide what you are comfy with. I am 39 and I did't want to be mucking around so if my specialist hadn't monitored me I would have asked for it for that reason. The cd21bt is routine for clomid users and this shows the progesterone level which will indicate if you have ovulated or not.

Remember you are the consumer if you want to have u/s monitoring ask for it and I am sure your doctor will comply...
