Monitoring during down reg

Hello lovely people please can you advise? I will be doing long protocol for my second attempt at ivf. For those of you who had long protocol what monitoring was done? Do you get scanned/blood tests done? I’m looking at my period tracking app and it looks like the down regging will fall exactly when we’re on a holiday abroad. I booked this trip last year when we thought we would have been done with the cycle but it got pushed back obviously. I know clinics vary so will call mine on Monday but since I’m getting a bit stressed right now, thought I’d post the question here! Thanks a lot. I’m w Lister btw! I’ll have my nurse appointment next week.

Hey,
I was meant to have a scan 2 weeks after starting my down reg but my period was late so ended up having it 3 weeks after I started.

@ivfjourneyandme thank you! So do they want you to have your period before they scan you post down reg? It looks like i’ll be abroad from day 10-15 of my down regulation… perhaps I can have a scan there and just forward the result to my clinic. I didn’t want to do that ideally so hope my period gets delayed a little bit too!!

Yeh, you have to have had a bleed beforehand. Try and enjoy your holiday 😁 ☀️

Do they scan you on day 1 of your period or there’s a range that they do (ie come in between days 1-3 of period?) . Thanks i will try to enjoy!! X
