Finding a monitoring center is easier than it might sound! We recommend you start with your local OB-GYN, local lab, local hospital, or local fertility center. You will want to let them know that you will be receiving fertility treatment from a non-local provider who will need frequent transvaginal ultrasounds to count and measure your follicles and to evaluate the thickness and pattern of your uterine lining. You will need to let them know that we will need same-day STAT results by 2:30PM Eastern Time. It can be helpful for you to identify a contact person at your local facility who understands the sacrifices you are making to undertake this treatment and who can be your ally in ensuring your results are sent to our office in a timely fashion.
In addition to these ultrasounds, you will also need frequent lab monitoring—baseline monitoring (at the beginning of your cycle) will include Estradiol, Progesterone, LH, FSH, TSH, and HCG and your in-cycle monitoring will include Estradiol, Progesterone, and LH. Receiving these ultrasound and lab results STAT enables our team to analyze your cycle progress and provide you with the appropriate next steps.
