sonograms when doing FSH injections

I am just curious how many sonograms your RE does during a cycle using FSH injections.  My doctor does a day 3 baseline, day 6, day 8, day 10 etc. until the IUI.  Does that seem normal to you guys?

That is sounds about right.  He could always do more to check on egg maturity.  Take care.

I just had IUI done this morning. And my RE did sonogram on day 3, day 8, and day 11.  We did Follistim shots on day 5, 6, 7, 8, 9,10, 11 & 12 plus we did Ganirelix 250mg with the Follistim on days 9, 10, 11, and 12.  We triggered on day 13 and did IUI on day 15.  So it sounds like about the same regime.  So now we wait!!! But Im starting to feel bad they keep giving my husband a big ego---they told him this morning 38 million sperm count--who can count to 38million (just kidding) but now Im thinking I have the problem, even though they say they cant find a reason.  Life is so strange! My belly is killing me and I  dont know why for the procedure it self didnt hurt this time.  Best of luck to you.

Thanks,
The sonos are $340 each, so I was seeing if anyone is getting to do less of them than me.

Just me,
They do see you for a baseline and then every other day until the trigger shot.  It sounds about right!

Just me,

My dr does Day 3 baseline, Day 7, 10 and then every other day until trigger.  Last month we only went to day 10 and triggered on Day 11, so I only had 3.  My insurance pays for 8 u/s in a 60 day period.  I went beyond that on my last cycle, so this cycle is on me.
