You'll take the meds/injections at home, but because you are stimulating your ovaries, you will have to go to in the office for bloodwork and ultrasound to be monitored.

Is there any way to do the meds/injections at home? Or do you have to go in for that?

My RE had me do my IUI monitoring at home with a First Response test.

what if it is a natural cycle? can the monitoring be done at home?

With injectibles/after 3 or 4 days of shots. As your cycle progresses and you get closer to O....it is every other day or everyday.

natural cycle.

My office isn't that close to my fertility center, so i'd prefer to make as few trips as possible.

Are you doing a Clomid or natural cycle? If Clomid, you usually go in 3 days after you finish the Clomid course.

How many days before ovulation does monitoring usually begin?
