http://www.fertilityties.com/post/show/do-i-need-an-ultrasoundqm Dr Q, My RE started me on Femara CD3-7 2.5mg. He did not request an U/S to see how my follies are doing. It seems like most of the women on here get a CD12 U/S while on Clomid of Femara. Should I request one? The only thing he wanted me to do was get a CD21 Progesterone. Also, he did not say anything about a shot to release the follies. What do you think ???

I found the HCG very uncomfortable.. your choice<br/><br/>Sending you lots of <a href="http://s45.photobucket.com/albums/f52/smileybean/Holidays/?action=view&current=dancingeggs.gif" target="_blank"><img src="http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f52/smileybean/Holidays/dancingeggs.gif" border="0" alt="Dancing Eggs"></a></div> <p><a href="/profile/caryn" title="Caryn"><img alt="Jake_and_momjpg" src="/profile/image/1620/thumb/jake_and_momjpg.jpg?1231287354" /></a><br /> <a href="/profile/caryn">Caryn</a> </p> Sun, 22 Jun 2008 17:59:11 -0500 http://www.fertilityties.com/post/show/do-i-need-an-ultrasoundqm/98298 http://www.fertilityties.com/post/show/do-i-need-an-ultrasoundqm/98298 <div>Sunny, I would say that one of the down sides to not having an U/S would be that you don't know what effect the meds are having on you. I did Clomid for 3 months and nothing happened, no BFP. So I don't know what was going inside (I ovulated on my own) so I feel like it was a wasted three months. If we had seen that yes there were lots of nice follies inside and it didn't work then I could think maybe the eggs weren't good ect. but I don't even know if I had any extra follies and if so did they mature. BUUUUT others take those meds and it works for them, guess we are all different. Wishing you lots of luck!!!!</div> <p><a href="/profile/jenstar" title="jenstar"><img alt="Dsc_1657" src="/profile/image/1913/thumb/DSC_1657.jpg?1201375879" /></a><br /> <a href="/profile/jenstar">jenstar</a> </p> Sun, 22 Jun 2008 17:43:34 -0500 http://www.fertilityties.com/post/show/do-i-need-an-ultrasoundqm/98294 http://www.fertilityties.com/post/show/do-i-need-an-ultrasoundqm/98294 <div>sunny- i was not monitored by u/s when i used clomid...just used opk's, temped, and bd'd all the time! :)</div> <p><a href="/profile/babyquestions" title="babyquestions"><img alt="Park_editted" src="/profile/image/3163/thumb/park_editted.png?1221227011" /></a><br /> <a href="/profile/babyquestions">babyquestions</a> </p> Sun, 22 Jun 2008 17:27:03 -0500 http://www.fertilityties.com/post/show/do-i-need-an-ultrasoundqm/98291 http://www.fertilityties.com/post/show/do-i-need-an-ultrasoundqm/98291 <div>not necessary to get an ultrasound, many don't get one when just on pills, either letrozole or clomid...<br/><br/>The main purpose for ultrasound is to monitor the prevention of multiple follicles and/or if one has had a history of poor endometrial lining...both of which are of very little risk with Letrozole. The other reason would be if one is very much interested in triggering with hCG the ovulation of mature follicles..</div> <p><a href="/profile/dr-q-0" title="Dr. Q"><img alt="Snowboarder" src="/profile/image/9/thumb/snowboarder.jpg?1230341508" /></a><br /> <a href="/profile/dr-q-0">Dr. Q</a> </p> Sun, 22 Jun 2008 15:39:25 -0500 http://www.fertilityties.com/post/show/do-i-need-an-ultrasoundqm/98274 http://www.fertilityties.com/post/show/do-i-need-an-ultrasoundqm/98274 <div>May be check the lining?</div> <p><a href="/profile/hopen" title="HopeN"><img alt="Angel_falls__orinoco_basin__canaima_national_park__venezuela" src="/profile/image/726/thumb/Angel_Falls__Orinoco_Basin__Canaima_National_Park__Venezuela.jpg?1218678023" /></a><br /> <a href="/profile/hopen">HopeN</a> </p> Sun, 22 Jun 2008 14:20:48 -0500 http://www.fertilityties.com/post/show/do-i-need-an-ultrasoundqm/98252 http://www.fertilityties.com/post/show/do-i-need-an-ultrasoundqm/98252 <div>I think you should try it once w/o.</div> <p><a href="/profile/kan" title="KAN"><img alt="Lcap-trends-ss09-5" src="/profile/image/1585/thumb/LCAP-Trends-SS09-5.jpg?1230863249" /></a><br /> <a href="/profile/kan">KAN</a> </p> Sun, 22 Jun 2008 14:19:51 -0500 http://www.fertilityties.com/post/show/do-i-need-an-ultrasoundqm/98251 http://www.fertilityties.com/post/show/do-i-need-an-ultrasoundqm/98251 <div>What do you think KAn, SHould I ask for one?
