Stims & monitoring

[Alyssasmom789]

Would Dr. Potter allow for me to pretest, stim and monitor locally and just go to him/HRzc for ER and transfer?

Stiming is shots and medications due to pretest results correct?

Monitoring is just that monitoring and ultrasounds or whatever to see how one is reacting to stims?

Or is this just a bad idea altogether and should just do it right and do it all with Dr. Potter?

Bump no answer dying to know

You can easily do pretesting and monitoring at home. I always arrived day HRC on day 9 of stims where Dr Potter did a scan. That's the latest you can arrive at HRC.

But if you want a fresh transfer you still have to stay at least 10 days????

[vickyaust]

Yes at least 10 days. I stayed 13 nights. That allows for delays that can happen. Eg you might need to stimm a few days longer.

I was told that I needed to stay 12 nights, but they prefer 3 nights. So they prefer 13 nights, 3 full days of bed rest after the transfer. And, yes that is for a fresh transfer. I am sure for a 5 day transfer it was a day less, but now since it's 6 days it's one day even longer!! I really wanted to go to Dr. Potter, but I just can't be away from my son for that long and taking him would be too much for me since my husband can't come for work!! Hope you can try and make it work!!

It's going to unbelievably hard to travel with 3 very little girls but all the clinics locally either have low success rates or are so much more expensive. I'm bummed

None of HT is easy. Many here have travelled with lots of kids and from long distances. I am from Australia and know hundreds every year travel to the US.

I did it 3 times. First time with the family, second time alone, third time only with my husband. I would never have asked my family to look after my kids a year ago. But I realised that it was the only way by my third cycle as the cost and hassle of taking them was too much.

Give yourself time. You will work out a good plan for your family.

Either way is fine. I prefer to have the last monitoring visit here but either way is fine.

If you hit it just perfectly 8 days but it is really cutting it close with no room for error.
