Ultrascan to Check Possible Ovulation? Posted: 01-28-06 21:38pm
Hi friends,
i need help and advice. I started my
period today and I will be starting out on
clomid from day 2(tommorrow) to day 6 and
on day 12 my doctor has asked me to come
back for an ultrascan. The nurse told me
that the doc will check for the best dates
to have sex to try for a baby.
Now my question is, what happens at the
ultrascan? What is I am ovulating and
what if I am not? What happens after
that? I also have pcos. So anyone who
has been to an ultrscan for checking
ovulation on day 12, can share ur stories
and experiences.
Normally when does a person ovulate? My
cycles are long like 40-45 days.
Pls share ur ideas & experiences.

I don't have any information on the
ultrascan. You might be able to google
that. I have cycles that run about 35
days and I usually ovulate at day 17-18 or
so. I would think that you probably
don't ovulate until around day 20. Have
you tried the ovulation predictor kits?

No I have not used an ovulation tester
before. When can I use the tester to know
which day is my most fertile day...

Honestly, i'm not real sure. I would
pick one up and see what the instructions
in the box say. I only used one once,
over 4 years ago. I got a positive, did
the deed and got pregnant. I wish I
could be more helpful. The only thing I
can tell you is if your cycles are longer
than normal, you probably aren't ovulating
at the normal 10-14 point.

Yes, Ultrasound Can. Posted: 02-06-06 02:07am
Hi,
yes, you can tell whether you ovulate by
ultrasound. Cos when the egg is mature,
it will be big. The size should be around
20 mm. Then the doc will tell you to try
when and when.
Let me know how it all goes.

Hi deary,
i did that once before after my first
cycle of clomid. I went to see the gynea
on the 10th day. But my eggs will still
small, about 12 mm. So, I went back again
on the 12th to get another check, it was
only 13 mm.
The gynea told me that it must be around
20mm-25 mm to be considered healthy eggs
and then you will ovulate. That cycle was
not good. He then up the dosage to 100mg
from 50mg. How much you are taking now?

I am only taking 50mg of clomid. It's my
first time going for ultrascan tomm to
check for ovulation. Will let u know what
happens... Tomm is day 12 of my cycle.
If the eggs are small then do u have to go
back again few days later? Or what is the
next step?
I am quite worried, I hope the eggs are
great. I can't go through the pain and
misery with clomid and metformin again! I
am serious, I might just take a break.

How did it go? I hope it all went well.
When my eggs was not growing, he said that
he can provide medication to trigger my
period or just wait for it to come
naturally. So, I decided to wait. I
don't really want to introxication myself
with a variety of drugs. However, it also
mean that I am waiting for my period. My
cycle is extremely long and waiting for it
mean wasting time.
I told myself that I will not wait. If
eggs are not good, then hack with it
