[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m doing my first IUI cycle and I want to make sure I’m being monitored like everyone suggests. I went in for baseline bloodwork and sonogram, then started 5 days of clomid that day. I go back three days later (Thurs) for bloodwork and IUI. I’ll get a trigger shot at some point, and insemination next week. Is this sufficient monitoring? Any tips or things I should be making sure the RE does?[/quote]

Sounds a little off. Monitoring means you are getting ultrasounds after finishing your clomid doses to make sure that follicles are forming, are the right size to trigger, that the uterine lining is thickening, and that there aren't too many mature follicles (for risk of multiples). You also don't typically get bloodwork on IUI day. A typical schedule might look like:
- baseline monitoring and bloodwork on day 3ish
- meds for next 5-7 days 
- monitoring beginning a a day or two after you finish meds - bloodwork and ultrasound 
- next steps depending on results would be trigger, wait for more growth, or take another dose of meds to get more follicle growth
- more monitoring as you go through next steps
- trigger shot and IUI next morning

It's possible your RE's office just didn't give exact timeline since it's your first cycle and there are a lot of factors that determine your exact timing. But if they're not monitoring after your meds for follicle growth then that's not correct.[/quote]
