No scans or bloods until day 9 of injections?

[aamiller405]

So I am on an antagonist protocol of ICSI IVF. I have received my treatment calendar and I take northisterone tablets for 9 days, have a 3 day gap then start menopur injections.

I take menopur am and pm for 2 days then fyremadel am and menopur pm. But Ive noticed that my next appt isn't scheluded until day 9 of the injections?

Does this seem right? I just presumed Id be seen before then for a baseline scan or more monitioring?

Heya. It hard to say as am gathering from all that everyone’s drug and treatment regime is done so differently with the diff clinics. I would imagine it would be fine if that what their saying. Def diff To mine but not mean it wrong. I had a scan around that time after 9-10 days of down reg injections then started stims so in that way sounds right. Now am on stims for a week and will go for another scan next week.

Could always double check with them and get clinic to explain reasons it done this way.

Best wishes with it all👍☺️x

Hi aamiller. As the others have said, each clinic differs in their protocols. If you're worried, just give them a ring and check for peace of mind. Good luck! Diane
