I know they monitor you every day on IVF, but how long do you have to go in every day for monitoring? I'm just looking for an approximate amount of time. Any info would help. Thanks a bunch, ladies!

Hi there,
I don't think anyone gets monitored every day. You start BCP and and then add Lupron or something like that. After a bit you go for a supression check. Once that happens you get monitored more frequently, but not every day. I overstimulated so I would go in for blood work every day at the end, but I don't think most will do that. I also saw my RE more than most because of that.

I went once in the beginning before Lupron started and then once 2 later and then like every 2 to 3 days after that until the trigger shot.

I started with b/w before the BCP to make sure I wasnt pg. Then BCP, started Lupron after 2wk of BCP. Once you have the Lupron in your system for about 8days then baseline b/w & u/s. After that, about 2 more b/w's and if you are able to continue to ER/ET, you will have maybe 2 more b/w & u/s!!! It really isnt alot of appts....... Not everyone's body takes to the meds the same and appt days may vary.

I had SUPER minimal monitoring, and sort of wish I had more. I had my CD3 u/s and b/w, then stims for 7 days before another u/s and b/w apointment. I triggered that night.

Good Luck!

Once you start the stims you typcially are monitored every other day. I when in two days in a row right before the trigger shot.

I was monitored evry Mon, Wed & Fri through stimulation, then twice a week until I was 5 weeks pregnant and then once a week until 10 weeks pregnant. I "graduated" from my RE on Wednesday this week. It was alot of back and forth but well worth it.
Hope this helps.
Also, My RE is more thurough than many others. I'm pretty sure this would be the most you would have to go

I started going in on day 4 after stims and then had ER/ET. After ET, I started having bloodwork every other day and have continued that. Next week, I get to start going twice weekly. The monitoring is to makse sure how you are responding, to know when your eggs are ready and then for bloodwork for pregnancy. Blessings to you.

    I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...
