What should I expect on my first monitoring appointment on day 6 of stims?

Question

I have my first monitoring appointment tomorrow morning which will be day 6 of stims. I’ve been on 75 Menopur and 225 GonalF. Should I expect to start going in more often for monitoring after this appointment? 
Also, when does your period stop during stims? 
Thanks for any help!

Answer

You will likely be going into appointments every other day which consists of ultrasounds and estrogen/progesterone checks. Ultrasound to look for number and size of follicles. Progesterone to ensure no ovulation. Estrogen to monitor for OHSS. Depending on your ultrasound and labs they will likely have you adjust medication doses. I had OHSS so I had to decrease my Med doses a few times in the process and then had to switch from a fresh transfer to a frozen transfer to let the OHSS calm down.
