what type of monitoring is necessary/ideal for IUI
Hi Dr. P and/or Lori,
I'm sorry because I could probably find this info somewhere, but thought I would go right to the source What type of monitoring is necessary or ideal for microsort IUI? Is this something that is generally done via ultrasound, or with opk? And would opk work for someone who's not skilled at reading them?

I am not Dr P or Lori,
I did MS IUI in HRC but i am located in chicago. I went to my Gyno for monitoring (U/S) i did not do bloodwork, My Gyno used to send the results to DR P office. Some people also do only OPK. This is only when u do Clomid. If u r doing MSIUI with injectables then Bloodwork should be included.

My periods were like in between 28 - 32 days, so i had about 6 U/S. but to be honest that much is not required if ur periods are regular. Nope MS /IUI did not work for us unfortunately.

Monitoring for gender selection IUI
Ideally, monitoring is done with ultrasound and blood tests. OPKs are problematic because they are marginally accurate and are not as closely regulated as blood tests. If the shipment of OPKs was in a hot van or has been on the shelf for an extended period, the reagents can deteriorate.

Thanks! Seems like with monitoring (local, not at HRC), and travel 2, IUI cycles would probably cost about as much and be about as much hassle as one IVF cycle . . .
Mykids: sorry to hear it didn't work out And eek, I don't think I had 6 ultrasounds with my IVF cycle (!)

Mykids, I'm sorry your MS IUI did not work out. Have you thought about doing IVF?
Hi everyone, I gave birth to my first lovely daughter in September. I was wondering what would be the best timing to start trying for another girl? Would that be a year after giving birth, 18 months...
Best timing for ttc girl after...
