Can someone PLEASE tell me what the heck my Dr. is doing.

So i am fairly new to all of this Clomid business, here is my scenario.

I have done two rounds of CLOMID, fisrt round did nothing, second round they upped my dose, and added Metformin. All along they were monitoring me, but somehow still missed my ovulation, and I have my period now.

Now they want me back in for another Vaginal sono tomorrow. But I am still bleeding is this normal??? EW I am just embarrased to do this. Please help, does this sound right?

I'm not sure why they are having you do a vaginal sono...maybe to check and see if you definitely ovulated. Usually I had a CD3 blood test and that was it until CD 10 or so.

i've done two rounds of clomid so far. both months, had a CD 3 sono. clomid can cause cysts, so they need to check that the ovaries are clear and "rested" before starting something new.
totally don't worry about the bleeding - they are so used to it, does not faze them at all. yo uwill lying on the disposable paper anyhow.

I also go to the RE on CD3 to get blood test and a sono done. They like to do the sono to make sure that the ovaries look good and to make sure that they don't see cysts or anything else abnormal.

Don't do the Instead thing - it may affect their view of your ovaries. Don't worry about it, they do it all the time. It's not like there is going to be a huge mess or anything. Just relax....

I was weirded out at first too, but they do it all the time. And yes it is to make sure your lining is thin enough and that there are no cysts on your ovaries before you start the Clomid.

ETA: I am anal so I would bring wipes with me to clean up as well as I could before I had the sono. But honestly they dont even look.

you cannot have the sono with the instead cup.

Every place I went always did a CD3 Sono.

You will get used to it. They do them ALL the time.

I swear I had at least 15-20 sonos with my period...Its not that bad at all.

oo..I didn't see the post that I couldn't wear the instead cup, so I did, and it was fine, no mess, no obstructed view. It went fine. Next time maybe I won't even need the cup, they def. barely look, and are as quick as possible. Still sucks though!

Re: Can someone PLEASE tell me what the heck my Dr. is doing.

I had the exact same thing. They should be checking you day 3 for cysts!
