What test to take when on clomid? Plz Help

Hello All:
I went to a diff doc and he just shot out a bunch of tests which i pretty much stop listening to him( my brain went into panic mode) when he said i had only 4 tries of clomid i have done 2 50mg with no results or any test done when taking them. Please if some one can help me out as far as what tests are to done and when.
So far this is what my husband was able to pull because he went with me to my appt thank god.
Follicle Scan day 3 of your period
Ultra Trans Vaginal Scan day 12 of your cycle (after taking 100mg clomid)
now where does Progesterone blood test and estradiol test and FSH fall into place what day do you test ?

Here is what has been done on my previous cycles:
Day 5  Ultrasound for follicle study - start 100 mg of Clomid for 5 days & wear estrogen patch
Day 12 Ultrasound for follicle study - if follicles were mature enough - I would do an ovidrel (trigger) shot & then have timed intercourse 24-36 hours later
About a week after that - they would have me come in for blood work to make sure I did in fact ovulate
That may not answer all of your questions, but I figured it couldn't hurt!

Those are all blood tests.

Your FSH is usally taken on CD 3.

Your Progesterone is taken 7 days after ovulation (CD 21 if you ovulate on CD 14).  Anything over 5 means ovulation - on a medicated cycle they like to see over 10.

Your estradiol is taken several times throughout your cycle.  They are making sure that the ultrasound is correct by testing what your ovaries are producing.  It is very unlikely that they will do this with you just on clomid.  This is usually done when you are on injectables to prevent OHSS.
