Worth watching before your first monitoring cycle so the appointments feel less unfamiliar.

Monitoring frequency, clinic opening times and which blood tests are taken vary between treatments, clinics and provinces. The appointment arrangements described in this video are the publisher's own; follow the schedule your clinic gives you.

Key takeaways

  • Monitoring usually combines blood tests and ultrasound scans over several days.
  • Results guide medication decisions and the timing of the next step in your cycle.
  • Frequency and scheduling differ by treatment type, clinic and protocol.
