Cycle Monitoring
What is Cycle Monitoring?
Cycle Monitoring involves blood work and ultrasounds during the first half of your menstrual cycle to follow hormone levels and the growth of follicle(s). Cycle monitoring will vary greatly in length and frequency depending on the patient. For most, it will involve several days of testing during a 1-2 week period.
