Thanks again for your advice! I just got the results of the ultrasound - I have a few very tiny cysts, so they told me to go ahead with the shots starting tonight. I'm excited to start again and I really hope it works this time!!
My doc always made me go in for the baseline ultrasound - no matter what. I never ever have had any problems but I still have to go religiously :) Good they at least scheduled one - better to be safe than sorry. I am sure, iif you normally don't get cysts, that it will be clear but good you are being proactive in your treatment :) Good luck!
I also, always had to go for a baseline. I have never had problems with cysts but that was always necessary. Good luck to you this cycle!
Thank you both for your input! I called this morning and they scheduled a baseline ultrasound for tomorrow morning. Hopefully this cycle works and I won't have to worry about this next month!!
I always had one with follistim but not with clomid.
Most REs will not allow you to start a new medicated cycle without a baseline, so I'm surprised your nurse said that. If I were you, I would definitely ask for one, especially since you're on injectables. My baselines were normally fine when on low-dose injectables, but I did have a HUGE cyst after one of them...and I was only on three shots of menopur (75 units) that time. If think it was about 40mm!!!! And I have no history of cysts! Because of this, I had to take that month off and start the meds again the following cycle.
Best of luck to you!
